83 Quotes by Eric Overby

Is our closeness all smoke and mirrors,Just a figment in my mind?Do you know what all your in forWith a love like mine?I can show you what lies aheadIf we leave our lives behind

Looking For GoldI'm looking for the gold in this lifeA love so rare It's doesn't have a priceNot living for the futureNo heaven, no hell, no paradiseAnd I'm giving it all away now,Cause you can't step In the same river twice

My heart beats with you,Love runs red throughout my veins,Making me aliveSA Node - Haiku

To know your mind,you need a little distance.You need to be a step or two awayand be able to noticewhat your mind is doing without being so lost or involved in itthat you can’t see it.It’s like trying to see your eyes.If you want to see yourself,you need to create some space,you need a mirror.Stillness, mindfulness, meditation:these are the mirrors.
