January 15, 2011 – Scott Martin Locke
With each day a new beginning. All else is history or dream. No man is an island to himself-we are all one and contribute to each other. A night full with memories, a day full with anticipation and expectation. let 's not think too highly of ourselves-we are only human and the element of surprise is the human element
In each of us. we live with the creation of opportunity and random chance- we came to earth with a mission-
Learn from time- keep track of your time-we all are getting older. the younger have dreams and us elders have
Only memories. We shall think of all that is good. while ambitious hopes bring their needs to light from our enlightenment our will commands and still we must
Live within reason. Think now of your own life and realize all the enlightenment that has come to you. We must learn not to regret and live by our choice and decision in our immediate reality. Once discovered the Creator's will empowers us to do all the good we can. resting in the thought is all we can
Do to be still and quiet in the reckless world we live in. we live by the rules of our society conscious of knowing the spirit is at work even in our own life. still deep
Within civilization the grand drama of the universe plays out and life goes on and we live-that's all. It’s an enormous task living is. There is work to be done- our constant improvement is a priority. no one stays
the same- change is an ever living constant of nature
Short stories and thoughts
comprehension and understanding
-------------------------
December 07, 2008 - scottmartinlocke
as far as comprehension goes each of us have a certain degree of abilities; and even our understanding has a base from which
We draw our knowledge and wisdom. Even the most clear and cogent demonstrations of our knowledge contain in them
paradoxes which are perfectly irreconcilable to the understanding of humans ; and even a small portion supply any real benefit
To human kind, otherwise supply an innocent diversion and amusement to our thoughts of them and to the certain way of thinking that we do. All together our anxiety and stress come from the use of language and its often misinterpretations of general ideas and specific
Ones. now for those who labor in thought the enigma poses only a more difficult path searching for the truths obvious different
To the same truths with similarities; but not actually the real truths. it's the similarities that confuse us : but once aware of the
Qualities and principles these similarities can be differentiated, and separated from what is real and from what only seems real.
we will just have to let each one of us sort through the properties and find for them self what most obviously seems to be the
real thing
Short stories and thoughts
Our Mutual Powers of Illumination
-------------------------
December 12, 2008 - scottmartinlocke
Neither there is nothing more nor less than recognition of the differences between words and the echoes do they create in the mind.
Though we are at times more aware of our own thoughts than at others we choose, deliberately, to remember or forget. The
Artifice of the philosopher is the only means to Pass Knowledge to One Another. from history to the contemporary; to the every
Day reality of our own thinking and inner thoughts. It takes cleverness and skill; not to mention wit, but I will; to embellish all the promises philosophy and metaphysics hold within
Their grounds of composite reality. it has been generations upon more than we can imagine that knowledge has increased its
Base among the persons of humanity that labor in thought. You articulate some things and others be content with general knowledge; but be aware there is more to the unknown and
Unseen than we could conceive. those with special skills who can cross over to the other side of reality and perceive the sublime
are a special class and few; but those who only conceive have their intelligent creativity activated to assure themselves
Something else is real, in reality than we can know. There is no where to turn to except for our mutual powers of illumination. It is one of the greatest things to add enlightenment
And insight to Another's Life. Intelligence embraces annihilation unless we act together sharing knowledge ad wisdom. this one thought is the principle of
My own genius. Thank you for your time
Short stories and thoughts
All kinds of people
-------------------------
January 15, 2009 - scottmartinlocke
You know there are all kinds of people in this world. some greater than other; and some with more intelligence, and some
With a greater creativity. as well here are those who can realize their dreams and those that just dream the remarkable thing
Is that we are really all the same. Those higher up have more to lose and those on the bottom have everything to gain. those
Of us who are the common folks have everything to gain and still have everything to lose? there are hose with genius and those
That just reacts and thinks on a common level. Those who study and gain insight have all that much wisdom to live with. Education
Is the key and as well learning applications is important. the bottom line is that sometimes in our life we have to labor in thought and think about our life; the inner life of our spiritual
Nature and the outer life we share with the world. one cannot deny spirituality nor reality; yet, the most curious thing is the unknown that lures us and attracts us with its constant
presence
Short stories and thoughts
laid off/ joining the 11 million
-------------------------
January 21, 2009 - scottmartinlocke
It was last Friday; about lunch time when the manager came by and told me. He said due to economic conditions I would join the reduction in staff, what a shocker. He said I could go home and would get paid for the rest of the day. It was a long ride home that Friday in January. Yea I cried but not for myself; for my family. I headed straight for the unemployment office. there were well over a hundred already there; so I headed for the
Food stamp office, the same thing. Talk about despondency. It hit me hard. I went home and sat myself down in my office and just looked out the window, it snowed that night about six inches, a day off with pay. I worked on my book typing and reading and listening to my music. I wore out another typewriter ribbon. Put a new one in and finished another page. Yea' another page in my life. Now I know from experience what it is like because I’m living it. The ESC accepted my application the next day and told me I could work part time/ up to 24 hrs. per week
With no penalty. a few years ago my boss got the layoff so I went to him to tell him the news, he told me he had a position opening and I could have the job to make ends meet, what a small world it is; and what's happening to this country; the land of plenty
Short stories and thoughts
unemployed but part time work ,recruiters and the ESC

January 27, 2009 - scottmartinlocke
It’s been two weeks now and I already got part time work. All different shifts seem to be baffling my mind.
and those
Concerns about the mortgage. I rolled over my 401 and had to pinch a bit to get by. God knows everything.
then I had to
Put a new starter in my car just to get around. REMEMBER TO SAVE FOR EMERGENCIES! make contingency
Plans.
Thank you Mr. Roosevelt for unemployment compensation. Probably one of the best presidents we ever had.
and now for
The job search. Looking for full time position isn't the easiest thing. Especially in these days.
READ THE NEWS! I go to the
Library to catch up on current world events. IT SEEMS THE WORLD IS CRASHING IN UPON ITSELF;
and the little guy
Bears the burden. Society is made that way. Perhaps it could be better but we live in a consumer, capitalist society.
Everyone has to look out for them self; kind of like primitive cro-magnum people or the Neanderthals.
History goes back
Thousands of years before the old testament age. That was only 5000 years ago. humans go back a
Hundred thousand years. But only in the last 100 years has mankind evolved so much. we went to the
Moon and back. the Hubble telescope brings the universe to our
Laptop computers. The international space station is almost complete. And still the millions of AMERICANS who are unemployed continue to grow. With no end in sight. world banks are
Bankrupt, starving people in Africa, segregation in the middle east. we vie in a world do ISM'S; terrorism,
communism,
Capitalism the list goes on and we go on with them. we are a world way out in the middle of space with no
Friends. the
Closest galaxy is too far to go to; but the Hubble telescope brings them in sight; millions of them. Are we alone?
to
Ourselves we are. What happens when the money runs out? It better not. Failure is not an option.
I WILL MEET THE CHALLENGE. Sick with mediocrity I excel. Manufacturing motivation and ambition along the way.
And one year later I’m working and have joined the ranks of the under paid and in debt.
Short stories and thoughts
the kindness and sadness of humanity

January 28, 2009 - scottmartinlocke
when I got laid off some Friday afternoon ago my manager said he would write me a letter of recommendation for 15 years of
Good service. It’s been three weeks now and I think I’m gone have to go see him. anyhow today/ Wednesday I did my four
Hour shift waving the sign at the tax service up on the street. I got the bright idea to make my own and go up town and stand
On the corner with a help sign need groceries, unemployed layoff/ and a peace sign. well I did a couple hours and the people
Were so kind. So heart warming. Some didn't care. But the ones who did were generous as they could be. I thought it was
A blessing from heaven. I saw a storm approaching and stood at my corner in the rain for five more minutes. then a cop
Stopped and turned on his bubble lights. He asked me what I was doing. I told him I was just standing there with my sign.
Well he took the sign from me. Keyed me into his computer as a warning because I didn't have a beggars permit. what the
__ __ and waste rash and rude and bold and un caring. even had the nerve to tell me to go way into town and ask for a job
At all the construction that's going on mid town. Darn cop with not a care for the poor, homeless and unemployed. no f_ __ in
Heart at all. And the nerve. The human being with no heart. They are everywhere. And the rest of us suffer. so I got a idea the next break I get to inquire about a permit, but there are
Conditions. No soliciting people in cars. so I gave up that idea and am going back to the Employment Securities Commission
Office and find some more leads. Everywhere I’ve already been people are lying off and cutting hours. there's just hardly
No work out there. Here in Raleigh North Carolina just in December 485.000 people lost their jobs state wide though. the
world is caving in on us and the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and the MIDDLE CLASS is shrinking to become mostly
Poor. What’s going on in the world? Can anyone tell me.?

A Long Time gone but Not Forgotten I sit in the cell of my own mind wondering about the world just outside and come to
No conclusions because as humans we just don't understand providence. When I was a boy I wanted to be a man. now that
I am all the man I wanted to be. If I could only remember all the stories I wanted to tell it would take a life time to write them and another to read all of them. If I could remember all the songs I’ve heard, all the places I’ve been, all the dreams I’ve had it would take another lifetime
to re-live them even if it were just in my mind thinking of them and wondering what life would be like if only some or one part had changed, but that don't work, life goes on by itself with us part of it and
That’s all. A long time ago our ancestors lived on your earth. good earth, and we built our statues for generations to wonder about and we built the Stonehenge, our ancestors did, and you wonder how, but we won't tell
Because wonder is as long a miracle of the mind. and all over your world our ancestors built amazing things to lure your curiosity and all I can say is we are not forgotten
Nor do we forget those times long ago. We all are time travelers. Look when you began and where you are now. time is very
long and the great mobius turns upon itself to remind you there is no inside and there is no outside; but there is inside to
Your mind and outside is the real world; and that's just the way it is.
