The works of Author C.L. Harmon
Beneath a headstone lies more than what was. In that resting place is wisdom, knowledge and experience that is no longer accessible. This creates two responsibilities. The first is to share what you know helps others. The other is to acknowledge that you have only a limited amount of time to utilize the help you need before it’s buried.

Leave a CommentWhat you want most in life might only take one more step forward, be one single step away. Barefoot on broken glass with a broken leg would I take that step if only to know I took the chance to learn how small the distance between where I am and where I desire to be.

Leave a CommentIn this life, we tether ourselves between people who represent either Heaven or Hell. As such, both will pull at us. But it is we who choose how much of a foothold either has. And for that we must decide which is pulling to be with us and which one only cares to keep us from the other. One will keep us grounded; the other will drag us down.

Leave a CommentI hope my youth is stored away in a bottle somewhere corked and waiting for me to release it. I hope my mistakes are sealed and locked in a distant abyss to be forgotten. I hope that all I have lost will be found along the roads I have yet to travel. And I hope that which has been broken is in the hands of the Divine. And though mine and all of our hopes at times may seem unlikely to materialize, they are still the opposite of acceptance they won’t. And for that alone is why hope exists.

Leave a CommentMorality is easy. It’s deceit which is complicated. There is only one truth but there are always countless lies to remember, organize and manage. And though morality demands honesty and integrity from us, it is simple in the sense that it only asks from us what is owed. Deceit, however, unravels in burdensome chaos when confronted with truth, taking everything from us and still leaving us indebted to morality and those who practice it.

Leave a CommentQuote of the Day
We see beauty in art and sunsets because they touch us emotionally where we rarely dwell. They stir something inside us that we experience all too infrequently. Each time we open up to others, we build a bridge from that hidden away area to them. And yes, some will burn that bridge, but know that having built that bridge, changes you into that same beauty which stirs something into others.

When we understand that everything in the universe was created perfectly and that we have the power to throw it into chaos, then we truly realize just how much responsibility is entrusted to us.
~C.L. Harmon
Sometimes we’re given only what we need because when we’re given all we want, we lose sight that it costs something to receive anything when it must come from nothing.

Leave a CommentWhat you remove from your existence defines you as much as what you add to your life. Often what you choose is not as important as what your choice leaves behind. If we choose fear, it is courage which is left behind. If we choose hatred, then love is what we leave. If we choose tyranny, liberty remains behind. And therein lies the irony that the the positive we leave behind will be an eternal reminder defining us as the negative we chose to keep.

Leave a CommentYou are the spark for someone else’s fire. Think about what that means. Whether you are firing up, melting down or burning out, does not matter to others in need of warmth. To them, you are the flame that made every fire they ever started possible…and that means everything to them.
