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.

Wings are for flying, not frying...

...nice quote, nice sentiment. Animal-friendly consumerism could be a major trend in 2009. Until three years ago I too gorged myself on turkey every Christmas Day, Boxing Day, 27th...and my mouth still waters at the remembered taste of turkey soup on the 28th or 29th, a meal which definitely constituted one of the culinary highlights of my year.

Now, I still undergo the occasional inner drool at the memory and unfortunately (for me) the smell of meat still attracts rather than -as with many "lucky" veggies - repulses me, but some thoughtless things just can't stand up to an authentic and welcomed onslaught of values so, all the trimmings, certainly...but no turkey again this year.
