Today the SOL challenge is almost halfway over. We have 18 days left. It is five days until my birthday. My puppy is cute. These are all things that are true about me and my life. My life has a lot of facts in it that I may share and I might not, it depends on my mood. Everyone's life has the facts, and the stories, that's what life is, thats what life does. My life is a garden documented in the dusty cluttered palace that is the center of my world. When you enter, the garden sits, small and busy, but beautiful, and to the left, the forest, redwoods, deep and dark, but not foreboding.  To the right, dunes rise, covered in a fine soft grass that feels like whiskers to the touch. And the beach is in the center, going out and forwards. The water is beautiful. It is the blue of a child's drawing of water, yet it has the depth of the deepest sea. Through the coral forest, if I swim very fast, is a cave with light in the front, from the sun above, streaking down. I swim inside, and the palace is there, atop it's gentle hill, tall mountains covered with green behind it. It is a strange castle, crazed and lopsided, and I know that is is me. it holds my information, and when I finally organize it, it will be easy to access. I know that it looks like an abandoned library inside, but I have never been brave enough to go past the first hallway.
