To Parts Unknown offers an inside line on the mind of an outlier at large; a rebel WITH a cause.

Sunsets and new beginnings
We as creatures of habit, all too often, wear down a rut into our routine, and that's what's comfortable; we all enjoy knowing what's coming next. We begin to disregard our true nature. Our true nature is one of possibility, potential, and a touch of divine infinity. The universe inside of us can be daunting, distant, and foreign, and so we keep our minds locally situated around our own sunny patch of inner Earth. It's nice there, it's warm. We are used to the burdens and the requirements; we are comfortable and content as our internal sun illuminates all that is ours. This inner sun shining within us is without question our number one comfort. We require it in such a basic way; we are guided, we are filled, we are inflated with it's light and energy.
The setting of this inner sun can be brought on by any number of happenings, and the internal decimation it wreak can be life altering; forcing a reexamination of our internal location. No longer do we feel the light and warmth of our sun, but we know it's somewhere. It's just no longer were we are used to it being.
I've been in the darkness halfway around the world and spoken to my family as the sun was shining on them on the other side of the globe. Literally speaking, but let's apply the reality to the metaphor at hand.
Relocating our minds and responsibilities back into that zone of comfort and stability, where the sun shines in us, through us, and out of us into the world around, is a task that can be a challenge for even strongest minded of us.
How do I find where my sunshine went?
I rely on the reality of my infinite nature and the unconditional love of my Creator. Meaning that over the last couple years as I've wondered about attempting to locate my sunshine I've found that two simple things have helped me feel warm again. One of those things is the sincere and unabashed Love I feel from God every time I reach out for him; this love takes many forms, but that's for a later time. The second thing that I've discovered that has helped me to feel like I'm gaining ground on reobtaining my soul inflating sunshine has been to throw myself into an entirely different location; far from where my sun set. If I am full of infinite potential then I am full of an infinite amount of chances to get things right.
It may not be where I am right now, or where I go next, but I know that my sunshine is everburning and just waiting for me to find it.

Convenient money transfers
The application requires all users to have an active bank account, and to link this account to the application. This is much in the same way that a PayPal account is linked to a bank account. Once linked the sender uses the application to send funds. The funds are delivered to the receivers application, and then can be transferred to the receivers bank account (2-3 day delay for traditional transfer, instant transfer to debit card account for a small fee). This step can be skipped, and the funds spent directly from the application, if the user request and receives a Venmo card.
Venmo offers users the opportunity to recieve a wallet size card that is similar in appearance and design to any number of credit/debit cards you've got tucked away in your wallet right now. This card allows for the receiver to eliminate the final step of having to transfer the the received funds from their application to their bank account.
I really enjoy the ease and convenience of this application, and In conjunction with the wallet card it's utility can't be overstated.
Happy Sunday...
Thank you Lord, and thank you Savior, for always being there when I need you the most. And for sending your angels, disguised as my family, to love and support me through it all...

My next step...
It's all of these steps that make up the journey. Each one an act of motion. Moving from one moment to the next we act as if we are paper in an endlessly rolling printing press embossing reality onto our beings. Sometimes our typeface comes out reversed, or garbled, or completely nonsensical. Sometimes it's pressed very hard down onto us, and other times it rolls on completely unnoticed. Sometimes we can understand the rational behind our authors prose, but more often than not their meanings only come into understanding further down the typeface.
This is my journey, this is my story ...
I'm taking steps that are filled with information. I imagine my blog is my attempt to interpret my steps into my own prose; to extrapolate the information out of each one, and then use my words to make a verbal collage of Me.
Currently my steps have led me to a comfortable, yet distant setting....
Haha.. comfortable in a way. It's comfortable to me because it's easy and beautiful, and filled with potential.
I miss my family a lot though. Not that we were that close when I was back home (nobody ever visited me or anything, except for ninja J :), but it was just nice to know they were there. Coming up against this latest health crisis really showed me how far away I've walked myself. It really made me long for my family, and the comfort that only they could offer.
I am then thankful, grateful, and wholly unworthy for the grace and comfort that I have found and received from my Heavenly Father as I've faced and surmounted the obstacles that have befallen my path.
I am very thankful, and a bit more worthy, for the love and support I get from my brothers: W,J,C and my Moms!! But as much I love them, I love my nieces and nephews even more. They are just the neatest human beings you could ever imagine.
My journey has an expansive trail with a seemingly elusive destination; my stories plot seems just as elusive.
My faith in the soundness of my path is without question.

Trouble with Technology...and words
On a more entertaining note...did you know that the word squirrel was used to detect German spies during WW2. The word was found to be, for all practical purposes, impossible for an implanted German agent to say without unavoidably betraying their elaborate subterfuge....
It makes me laugh to imagine a real point in the past, that would have found men of the highest military caliber engaged in a heated stand off with a supposed embedded agent of the German state; beads of sweat rolling down the face of this alleged German spie as he musters all of his will and linguistic ability to wrap his tongue around that grouping of damnable English letters"..._quirre_"...
"..squ.. Square .. Damn it..sqoor...aghhh."
"One more chance please.. I'm a Yankee doodle..I promise.."
"Sqoare... .....shizer I haive feeled mien furhier..."
..hahahaha..
Then we'd send him for waterboarding tickle treatment!!
I'm sorry about the comments section acting so squirrelly. I'm very sorry if you sat through this posting..
The Lord told me Good Morning; and I send him all all my praise for all of my days... I'm too blessed to be stressed, and too bad to be good.. praise God for his unconditional Mercy!!!

Restraint wounds post short term jail stay (2days/1night). Location: Maui Police Department's, city of Wailuku, isolation/padded holding cell for duration of stay.
Infected foot x7 days- secondary to beach sand in small wound
I'd like to share my before and after care pictures in memoriam of my struggles, and in an effort to empower myself past this life obstacle via the power of letting go and letting God.
Photos are graphic:
Restraint wounds before:
Restraint wounds healing (right foot swelling..yeeesh):
Right foot infection gets AnGrY!:
Doctor do you concur?:
Right foot post 2x courses IV clindamycin, and 2 separate oral courses take home (clindamycin and cephalexin):
I was worried and I went back to the ER, 14Jan2019:[
Is better... The infection was entrenched deep in my red meat... Never a good thing when it's in your red meat!
Current status:
And getting better by the second!
The lessons I've learned through my current difficulties have been those that are of unparalleled value, which have strengthened my resolve and infused my soul with light and hope! I have felt the loving hands of the Lord reach out through the kindness of strangers, and I've felt the gentle embrace of the angels when sadness and self pity intrude themselves into the moments of my day.
Pray for me and I'll be praying for y'all ..

I first completed my online, printable, application. Easy enough for a slick millennial like me. Too easy......

What's next?
Yes...my photo to be taken at Costco. Okay I'll go in, one shot one kill this picture stuff... I'm not vain; take two was much better though.
Off to the post office I now sceadadled. Last items on the list: money order, envelope, and postage. Each item being essential to it's relevant phase of the mission.
Phase 1- Money order, application, and old passport
Phase 2- Address envelope; fill with contents and seal.
Phase 3- Gather all of my sunshine, and my quarters, and head to the post office to mail my soul to Philadelphia. ..oh... My soul plus $140... They got it all from me.
Done with that I head to wash my laundry, and daydream of plush topical jungles full of plush tropical spiders....

Cats of the Maui Humane Society, and the larger picture
I do know that Jesus himself directed his brothers and sisters to go into the dark places where true Christians are deeply in need of a redirect.... They love Jesus and our holy father; but this world has a fasthold on them. These Christians, God has a special love for, "the least of these" he has called them.
A mo bettah take on this topic.
Now to the kitties ..
Many more to follow...
Have a thoughtful day, for our brothers and sisters in Christ need my help, your help, the help of every Christian to feel the support necessary to fight against this world of flesh, bone, and brain....
Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to the world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that by testing ye may discern what is the will of God, what is good, and acceptable, and perfect
