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.

As Daniel Pink put it: "We've progressed from a society of farmers to a society of factory workers to a society of knowledge workers. And now we're progressing yet again - to a society of creators and empathisers, pattern recognisers, and meaning makers."

Yes: create, empathise, recognise patterns and make meaning from them: that's where Halcyon will be heading, all being well.

It's a long, sometimes lonely path, though much less lonely now than a few years back, as it becomes increasingly easy to spot other members of Pink's new society, all wearing that same invisible badge that reads, "together, we have purpose".  

I see and sense new such like-minded souls almost daily now, but as I myself been too shy or cautious to engage with many of them, I expect there are silent millions of others just waiting to connect...
