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.

Conflict

Quote 552

Conflicts will diminish as our global, universal, spiritual, and cosmic awareness increase. By far the greatest contribution to peace an individual can make is to become a global, universal, and cosmic being - Robert Muller, A Planet of Hope, 1986

Quote 551

Anger is just a cowardly extension of sadness. It's a lot easier to be angry at someone than to tell them you're hurt - Alanis Morissette

On Apathy

What are we lacking - attention, compassion - or both, when we ignore WW2-scale conflicts happening right now?

Imagining (yes, yet again, but is it wrong to keep trying?) an end to war

The passing of Harry Patch truly marks the end of an era. Harry, on behalf of so many millions of others who paid the ultimate sacrifice between 1914-18 (and during all conflicts since) urged us to prefer peace to war.

Harry, be at peace evermore. We will remember you. And perhaps an end to war is possible, after all.
