Deep Peace Podcast

S1E1: Father’s Day in 2020 -


Listen Later

Libby talks about why we’re starting the Deep Peace podcast again, Father’s Day, George Floyd, and the quotes and mantras that we’re holding on to right now.

In this episode, Libby talked about navigating the difficulty of this moment, where we are facing the heaviness of a global pandemic, a recession, and a global uprising against systemic racism. She recorded this podcast on Father’s Day, 2020 and held space for those for whom Father’s Day might be a more difficult topic.

She also talked about a very dramatic shake-up in the planner community that has revealed some pretty alarming gaps in judgement at the leadership level of two mainstream, mass-culture planner brands.

Quotes That We're Holding On To:

· “The world is violent and mercurial--it will have its way with you. We are saved only by love--love for each other and the love that we pour into the art we feel compelled to share: being a parent; being a writer; being a painter; being a friend. We live in a perpetually burning building, and what we must save from it, all the time, is love.” – Tennessee Williams

· “And may we follow these instructions of the Buddha: "Others will kill. We shall not kill. Thus we should direct our hearts. Others will be cruel. We shall not be cruel. Thus should we direct our hearts. Others will speak falsely. We will speak what is true. Thus we should direct our hearts.

Others will be fraudulent. We shall not be fraudulent. Thus we should direct our hearts.
Others will be hateful. We shall become loving. Thus we shall direct our hearts.
Others will be unwise. We shall become wise. Thus we shall direct our hearts." May we carry these intentions with courage, as a beacon and a medicine, as a blessing to all we touch.” – Jack Kornfield

· “NEVER GIVE UP

No matter what is going on
Never give up
Develop the heart
Too much energy in your country
Is spent developing the mind
Instead of the heart
Be compassionate
Not just to your friends
But to everyone
Be compassionate
Work for peace
In your heart and in the world
Work for peace
And I say again
Never give up
No matter what is going on around you
Never give up”
- His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
