The 52:52:52 project, launching on this site and on social media in 2025, will help you address 52 issues with 52 responses over 52 weeks.

This site addresses what's changing, at the personal, organisational and societal levels. You'll learn about key changes across more than 150 elements of life, from ageing and time, through nature and animals, to kindness and love...and much more besides, which will help you better prepare for related change in your own life.

Halcyon In Kaleidoscope features irregular and fragmentary writings - on ideas and values, places and people - which evolve over time into mini essais, paying humble homage to the peerless founder of the genre. The kaleidoscope is Halcyon's prime metaphor, viewing the world through ever-moving lenses.

A Mundane Comedy is Dom Kelleher's new book, which will be published in 2025. The introduction is available here and further extracts will appear on this site and on social media in the coming months.

Choices

Quote 376

The problem with information is that there's too darn much of it. Thus KM is really about selective forgetting - David Weinberger.

Quote 375

The most dangerous thing in the world is a confident, smart person with the wrong model, because they have enormous enthusiasm in pursuing the wrong model - Bob Woodward

Quote 374

The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook - William James

Quote 373

That something happened to you is of no importance to anyone, not even to you. The important thing about you is what you choose to make happen - your values and choices. That which happened by accident - what family you were born into, in what country, and where you went to school - is totally unimportant - Ayn Rand

Quote 372

Some say knowledge is power, but that is not true. Character is power - Shri Sathya Sai Baba

Quote 371

Remembering I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart - Steve Jobs, http://m.news.com/2166-12_3-10271908-71.html

Quote 370

People who do not see their choices do not believe they have choices. They tend to respond automatically, blindly influenced by their circumstances and conditioning. Mindfulness, by helping us notice our impulses before we act, gives us the opportunity to decide whether to act and how to act - Gil Fronsdal

Quote 369

One of great tragedies in life is things that matter most are at mercy of things that matter least - Goethe

Quote 368

Now the stones of history need to be reused to construct roads that will lead wherever one wants to go - Theodore Zeldin

Quote 367

Not all of your decisions will be correct. None of us is perfect. But if you get into the habit of making decisions, experience will develop your judgment to a point where more and more of your decisions will be right. After all, it is better to be right 51 percent of the time and get something done, than it is to get nothing done because you fear to reach a decision - H. W. Andrews
