Famous Eric Overby Quotes

“What is my life worth, my time worth, my well-being worth? What will I give it up for, at what price? Truly, what good is it to gain everything, whether money and possessions, knowledge and power, fame and influence, likes and followers, or anything the outside world has to offer you? Is it not temporal? Is it worth losing your mind and your well-being?”

“Fading into the space between the times Since their last phrase to each other, Their love vocalized, But now the pain’s localized , It’s been fastened to the focal eye Of the absence in his voice, Closed captions of the passionate goodbye What was the last thing he’d said to her? It’s on the tip of her tongue, She can’t remember what she’d heard, Vowels ripped and consonants undone, Stuck in the space between words, Muted language that refuses to come The silence stands between them, Engulfed in a vast distance in time. She would trade in an instant, His syllables for the silence In the depths of her mind.”

“Publishing a book, Watching its ways Force me to look At a screen for days "Be still, be still", My heart screams for life But I must check its sales, It's reviews, its likes. Another Instagram poet Who's dying And doesn't know it, Untying an underlying Knot of desire To be liked and admired For people to love what transpires From my mind, but I'm tired Of the social machine Producing my insecurity Hoping someone will follow me And like all my poetry From this point forth, find me nowhere, Socially unseen, Just on the back porch, without a care And without a screen”

“The practice: mindful awareness of thoughts. What is the end goal: To be an Equanimous wise old man. What is the goal in this moment: To be an Equanimous young man. The journey is the goal- and the journey is lived each moment. Each moment is practice. Cyclical. Changing.”

“Easter Contemplations It does not concern me If this life is all I have. I do not need a resurrection Or reincarnation Or to live with the gods. It is enough to live With you here In the days of your presence. When my breathes Are complete, Lay me by your side In the dust. As in life, so in death. Let us become one With each other again.”
