The works of Author C.L. Harmon
When you would rather sacrifice all for what you believe in than live with nothing under the beliefs of another, love enough to be completely vulnerable and to trust again after your soul has been shattered by another, you have been awakened to the cost of every freedom that exists.

Leave a CommentDefiance is not always the wrong choice. It is the right choice when tyranny is pushed. It is the right choice when freedom is oppressed. It is the right choice when you are ordered into a direction that makes your heart uneasy. The only reason free and civilized societies exist is because others stood in defiance of those who push self-serving agendas and call defiance civil disobedience instead of civil liberty.

Leave a CommentHope is not in a sunrise or a rainbow. Hope exist only in a heart of action and faith. Injustice occurs because the just remain silent. Prejudice persists because tolerance is accepted as compromise. Evil flourishes because the faithful pray but do not act with a will of conviction. And the weak fall to tyranny because they do not rise when tyrants shake the ground beneath their feet. Hope is, and has always been, in you. And you realize this at the foot of the cross where you can witness just what faith in action can accomplish.

Leave a CommentIn life we should fill a void and in death leave one. As part of our creation, a void only for us to fill is also created, which is part of our purpose. That void is spread through and affects the people we will encounter in life. As such, we are linked together through a connection to fill that void. And ironically, it is because of that void of nothingness that we are brought together to create unity in everything.

Leave a CommentWe build paths to avoid obstacles. We fight the brush, boulders and pitfalls to clear a way for ourselves and others to reach the destinations we seek. But when the expectation becomes that others will fight the obstacles and risk the dangers associated with clearing the path, new safe and secure paths remain hidden in the wilderness because though expectation belongs to us all, progress toward it is our responsibility.

Leave a CommentBefore stepping out of what feels like shaky ground, make sure the stability to which you are moving towards is solid ground. It’s much easier to fight your demons on the unsteady ground of which you are familiar than the unknown depths of which they are familiar.

Leave a CommentBe a man with the dirt of labor on your hands, not the blood of those in bondage. Be a woman of strength, not of servitude. Bring a spark of hope to the future, leave the ashes of despair in the past. Stand tall, give those who cower an example. Be filled with joy, let sorrow hunger in the belly. Lead when compelled, follow the lead when your intuition compels. And always listen to your heart as it alone speaks for the soul.

Leave a CommentToday is the day you define yourself. Now is when you take what was yesterday and that which you desire for tomorrow, create a new opportunity and breathe life into any legacy you choose. Other’s choices affect you for moments, but a lifetime identity is only affected by you. It is better to leave a blank epithet on stone than one carved in the regret of who you wish you had been.

Leave a CommentSorrow swims deep, to depths we are never supposed to go. It takes us down until we are absent of breath and light. We sometimes stumble so far into the abyss, directions are useless as we become tangled within the darkness. But hope is in the light which doesn’t know the darkness and the shallow which does not fear the deep. When you are hope, you are someone else’s angel reaching in to pull them from the abyss…and that’s the power to which heaven has afforded you.

Leave a CommentThe very essence of our existence is to experience. Everything in our world is connected through that we experience. And at times, it’s painful. But you can only get experience through life. It’s not available anywhere else. We become a unique entity because we experience, not because we exist. We are actually created in phases. In the beginning, we are born with the tools to experience, then evolve as we learn and yet continually become someone different through our experiences. So never assume your life is at a standstill. Your life is constantly in motion and creating you one experience at a time.
