Short stories and thoughts
take an interest

Life is really interesting. Take an interest in it. Explore the known and investigate the unknown. Come to terms with reality. Both sides of life; the inner workings of your mind, and the outer consequences of nature. Employ your powers of perception and discover the world as it is; with all the great things humanly created; and those created by nature itself. It really is a grand place. If you look back at the earth from space at night; most of the world is lit-up. But there are no lights in north Korea. What’s up with that? And then there is the international space station. What’s up with that? Is it just a place for those qualified? Perhaps only a selected few could ride the shuttle there, but that's not the whole story - it's a dream for many and a great achievement for humanity. So why if we could do that are there still so many people struggling just to survive, life parts no favorites; but there are those who are better off than others. One thing for sure/ it’s always been that way. Those who have and those who have not. Those who are and those who are not. Those who want and those who would want nothing. Contentment is a place to arrive at. Look within and see your needs. Separate those from your wants; and you find you already have all you need, but want is a human passion. And passion cannot be denied. believe in miracles and find out that you are one too
Living in Thought
-------------------------
September 11, 2008 - scottmartinlocke
There is no one in this world with a heart without feeling or a mind without discernment. Intent merely on the objects of our pursuit we behold the space between the thought of those objects and the objects themselves. Wrapped in thought I cast my heart upon the sea of tranquility and found the dark side of the moon full of the light of enlightenment. An n ode to the distant memories of fairer times my reflections became the lines of inspired verse. We do not merely consider the beginning and the end; but all that is in the midst of the two opposites and all there is contained within them. The journey is a delight; and its exploration a wonder of amusement and entertainment. We pass the time with various pleasures; but the most pleasing is our time given to think itself. It is knowledge that makes us curious enough to want more. As life itself; one thing leads to another, and we make our way forward while all the time caught in the grasp of memories and clinging to our dreams. When someone shares their knowledge with you, you incorporate it into your own. It happens to people like that all the time. It happens to most of us by the means of our life experience. With age comes knowledge and wisdom. Our conceiving and imagining power does not extend beyond the possibility of real existence or perception in our discernment; but along the way of life we miss things, and when brought to our attention we quest for clues to the unknown. Some truths are so near and obvious to the mind that one need only open their eyes and mind to see their reality; but once our thinking is open to these new suggestions the infinite mind penetrates to the core of our being and we raise ourself to a new level of thought. Of all the Creator's creations only man, woman, and child are illuminated with the gift of thought and the process of imaginative thinking. Our lessons are timely, we live to learn; it is our evolution that makes us what we are. Our becoming is a continual process and an essential part of our life experience. So I prepare myself for each new dawn and all that comes with it, then in the evening before I retire give thought to the history hat has been made, and dream of the future

another metaphysical approach to life
-------------------------
October 28, 2008 - scottmartinlocke
if you believe you have a moral responsibility to your immortal life then don't you think you have a greater
Responsibility to your immortality in spirit and soul. Living is one thing and life is another. Winter is coming. Prepare yourself for the long cold nights and frosty mornings. Prepare your mind for the decisions you have to make. Your life is one thing but your spirit and soul are another. take another look at your disposition and temperament
And explore the real you concealed in your immortality rather than in your mortality. Thank you for your time

a thought on philosophical writing and literature
-------------------------
October 24, 2008 - scottmartinlocke
For the thinker; one ought to start with an open mind. But we are prejudiced by our own thought. Of course there are two sides to a story unless it comes from the writer and then it is one. Listen my readers; realizing and actualizing are two different things; same is dream and projection. Fantasy and illusion. Reality and surrealist. Who created thought?
Living in reality
-------------------------
August 22, 2008 - scottmartinlocke
We need not be stuck in the present as we seem to be. Our thoughts bring us into both the future and past; through memory and dreaming imagination. Yet still the present is the only reality we know because that's life. And our life is always a present reality except that it is surrounded by our sleep; where we go into another world, a realm of mind and spirit. There are mysteries which the heart of a man, woman, and child can neither conceive nor believe; because the unknown is so open to moderation and speculation. We must and ought to believe in what we do with certainty, or else why believe at all. There are mysteries we must at least realize that they are incomprehensible until the imagination catches hold of them. What is out of reach we only strive that much harder for where our motivation and ambition takes us towards? We find reason and understanding in our own way and time. We have seen the road by which the cultivated mind approaches these mysteries. As they hasten the development of knowledge we come to a new and bolder understanding of life itself. Off the cuff and remarkably bitter-sweet life is. Take it as it is and make things happen. Life was given to us to do what we will so direct your will to your own achievement.
Short stories and thoughts
living for the best
-------------------------
August 13, 2008 - scottmartinlocke
You know sometimes we got to cross the threshold between the past and the future. Living in the here and now makes room for our creative endeavor. My pendulum clock started right up today. I got prayed up this morning with the local gospel radio station. It’s becoming habit forming. Living the good life is an experience we all have to come to terms with. If you're happy and want to be happier you got to re-define happiness. I got all I need. I’m content. I got my wants under control. The lord is my Sheppard I shall not want. Love starts at your feet and goes to tour head. Just pray it don't stop anywhere on the way to your brain. It’s the passion of love that causes us all the pain and joy. Extras are not included. They never are. If you want you got to pay. Life goes on don't it. Work, and work some more. Thank goodness for the weekend. Saturday is fine with me; but the seventh day is all mine. It’s work for no pay; but it's fun.

A thought for Sunday morning
-------------------------
August 10, 2008 - scottmartinlocke
I woke up early this morning. Got prayed up and found some coffee. A thunder storm rolled through, bringing with it much needed rain; and thoughts for my brain. I have so much to be thankful for the gift of grace cannot be denied. It was the seventh day again. I just love this day. Got all my chores done on Saturday; so today I can write and type and read; and find some time to contemplate my thoughts. My pendulum clock keeps time for me; but the responsibility is mine to keep it going. If it stops time keeps on; but usually it takes a day or so to get it started. Meanwhile I just keep tapping on the pendulum and sooner than later it starts back. I missed no time and that's fine with me; because when my own time comes I won't need a clock any more.
Short stories and thoughts
all I wanted to do was to be creative
-------------------------
August 06, 2008 - scottmartinlocke
Creativity comes in many forms. Each of us knows just how many they can perform some better than others. As long as we stay in our field of knowledge our wisdom shines like the noon sun. Exploring images was fun while it lasted, I still do, but can't post them because my machine is outdated and though I live in the future; I’m stuck in the past. Technology can only go so far as our understanding of applications increase and then we approach the threshold of a quantum leap in achievement. Per haps I’ll just have to wait, like I always do for a vista or up to come my way. Until then I’ll just make due and post my thoughts and look at the pictures I have collected in my project called thought images. Words create meanings in our mind. Pictures create impressions and from them more words arise with thought and the thinking we do about them. Life goes on, don't you know. I’ve heard it said "deal with it" so that's what we do daily, on a continual basis. Even as we add knowledge to our foundation of thinking technology has its edge. A fine one at that. And what's gone happen when they take away our TV? they say we got to go digital and high def. but think how many will have none at all that cold day in February
Short stories and thoughts
I’m alive with emotion and intelligence
-------------------------
August 04, 2008 - scottmartinlocke
I 'm alive, I know it because I think so; I am therefore I am. What I am the real me; be for real I say. Show what you got and apply yourself. I’m sick of mediocrity so I excel. Advancing towards the optimum with real potential. Always trying to progress without regret for any regress; but looking back is ok just as long as you don't stay. There are lessons to be learned from history think of all those famous and renown. I want to be one of them; when I’m long gone. Perhaps someone will find my work amusing and reflect upon it; that's better than just some words on a stone. So I wrote my first book and people talked. They took notice. As my second comes to print I’m sure they will talk some more; but this time with enthusiasm. The kid actually has something to say. As I type from my notes the third volume my thought gets clearer and more precise. To expand the horizons of my own learning. And when I take it to print people will talk some more; this kid has explored the unknown and made it known. Philosophy is the grand enterprise of life. We do not dwell on teaching anything; but bringing to the surface some deeper thoughts everyone at some time considered. Life goes back millions of years, but the hundred of thousand years since Neanderthal, and d the ten thousand years of cro-magnum bring all the same questions to mind. Where are we, way out in space, on this little planet caller Earth. What are we doing here? Living our life in discovery of adventure and learning. Exploring the world around us as we do our self. It’s all the same but different somehow. That’s what makes us individuals. Singularly I am, but plural I am humanity. And in humanity I find myself just another human with a kind of genius eccentric with ecstatic thoughts; and great wonders. Great dreams; but reality shows itself to be the ruler and we are but its kindly subjects exploring and discovering all the while just what life is all about. it's not me, but we;
And the more who realize that the better this world will be.
