The 52:52:52 project, launching both on this site and on social media in early 2024 will help you address 52 issues with 52 responses over 52 weeks.

A Mundane Comedy is Dominic Kelleher's new book, which will be published in mid 2024. The introduction is available here and further extracts will appear on this site and on social media in the coming months.

This site addresses what's changing, in our own lives, in our organisations, and in wider society. You'll learn about key changes across more than 150 areas, ranging from ageing and time, through nature and animals, to kindness and love...and very much else inbetween.

Halcyon's aim is to help you reflect on how you can better deal with related change in your own life.

On Beltane

Maylight

 

See Pan the Piper dancing in the greenwood dawn...Earth, Water, Fire, Air, dancing round the Maypole...at Beltane, light a Beltane fire, high on the skyline - from Ancient Dream, by Aeolian Songspell

Faces bathed in dew and Druids in white before dawn at Beltane on Arthur's Seat; Jack-in-the-Green, the Queen of the May and gaily coloured ribbons; Summerisle and its sinister incantations..."groweth sed and bloweth med" and of course, "the apple tree that grew for you and me".

So many memories, some deeply personal, others from the shared, ancient and ever new gallery of the unconscious...once again, "come First of May".

"Maienschein" -- literally, "May-light", "May-shine" is the green glow of sunlight through spring leaves.
