The works of Author C.L. Harmon
Finding your way in this life is not about taking all the right roads and following the directions. It’s about getting so utterly lost that the only way out is to build a new road. Every known path was once a wilderness that had to first be travelled by a lost soul. And every destination at the end of those new roads was where they considered themselves found.

Leave a CommentOur actions are seeds we plant throughout our lives. And as those seeds take root and grow, they begin growing in other people’s lives. Anger grows into thorny underbrush that overtakes fertile lands. Deceit grows into poison weeds which choke out the beauty of lush pastures. Kindness grows fragrant flowers with a scent that is carried to others in the breeze. And love grows gardens which provide what sustains us. Plant only those seeds for others which produce that which entices you enough to pick for yourself.

Leave a CommentGiant stones are worn down with water, steel turns to rust and mighty trees fall in the wind. These are visions of strength which are eventually reduced to rubble. We are shown these in nature to realize there should never be a question in our minds that the greatest of our troubles in life, no matter how powerful, will find their way into simple dust.

Leave a CommentYour misery exists because it knows not to. Your peace is elusive because it has no direction. Your understanding is lacking because it is not fed wisdom. There are so many things in life to desire. But without the knowledge to comprehend the fundamentals of happiness, we will never understand the value of our desires even if we obtain them.

Leave a CommentThe hell you build for yourself is only as strong as your faith allows it to be. The same stones used to build your hell can become the stepping stones out of it. And in hand, keep your faith as the key to open what you believed to be the impenetrable door which kept you locked away.

Leave a CommentIf you can live your life as though you are connected to everyone else, then every avenue in their lives becomes a new possible path for you to explore. If you choose not to, then most directions you go become a one way dead end. Our connections to each other are what opens the roads to new destinations.

Leave a CommentThe days you are given are not meant to be filled, they are yours to be fulfilled. Each day has a purpose which you are tasked to discover. Within that purpose, is an answer you seek, a thought you need to move forward or a new direction your life should go. Enlightenment exists in the purpose and not the trivial.

Leave a CommentDiving into unknown deep water is believing that whatever lies there is worth experiencing. The chance you may not resurface is what keeps you in shallow waters. But the amount of fear you are willing to overcome is not in the water, but in your desire to know your own depth.

Leave a CommentSometimes there is nothing to say. Other times there are words which must be said. And at times we don’t speak when we should and do when we shouldn’t. But in each instance, it is an interaction which either connects or divides. What we convey to others builds bridges to connect or canyons to separate. So always speak your words as though they are the ones you will be remembered by.

Leave a CommentWe often seek a path riddled with obstacles. We go against what is natural, even going backwards only to arrive at places we don’t wish to be. Just because we desire something does not mean it’s the path forward. Resistance is often nature’s way of telling us we are on the wrong path while the path of least resistance guides us effortlessly to where we should go.
