This Is My Lathe Of Heaven

You might be wondering,where have I been for the last few days.I have been in bed breathing on myOxygen Concentrator.It is a machine to keep my oxygen levels upand hopefully,keep me out of the hospital.That is my explanation for my absenceor it is my excuse.But what do I mean by,this is my The Lathe Of Heaven?The above is a story written in1971byUrsula K. Le Guin where the main characterGeorge Orrcan alter the pastand present realities when he dreams.I cannot change reality,but sitting in front of a computer is my reality,and the dreams I have at night,take me on new adventures into different realms.I often write them down here,on thisBlog.I would say I am lucky in a way,because I can usually remember the dreams I have at night.I like to write down my dreams at the library.Computer time there is two hours.It gets me out of the house for awhilebut not too far away from my little corner of the world.My corner of the world consists of my bed/couch,my oxygen concentrator,nebulizer,cpap,a variety of prescriptions, vitamins,andminerals.I am not bed ridden,I just have to be careful. I read a lot,watchF1 Racing,and love to write.I love the adventures I take when I'm involved in writing a newShort Story,or Flash Fiction,Poetry,writing aPost,or writing aNovel. I just finished a65,000word story about aWizardthat my sister is editing.I cannot change reality likeGeorge Orr,but when I dream up a fictitious story,my mind takes wonderful adventures in many of those realities.When writing,I create something from nothing,and that is where I find some of my happiness in this world.My main source of happiness,is of course,my kids,their kids,and in one case,their kid.(I'm a Great Grandfather.)All of them have their own lives to live so to occupy my time,I write thisBlogand put a lot of stories for everyone to read.I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy writing them.And I promise to try
and not get sick anymore this year! This is,My Lathe Of Heaven,Jim Hauenstein,
And,
知止乎其所不能知，至矣。若有不即是者，天鈞敗之。-  Chuang Tzu -"To let understanding stop at what cannot be understood is a high attainment. Those who cannot do it will be destroyed on the lathe of heaven."

 That is my story and I am sticking to it!
