12-17-2025 … Day 23668 (Super Power Tuesday)
DAILY BLOG EXTRA [Healing Process]
Time seems to move differently from time to time. Arguably “time” was the first prison of the mind. Expected to labor and toil from sun up to sun down. Then came fire followed shortly there after by the night shift. I had to think about whether today was still Wednesday.
We are coming off of a high energy day. Another sign that the ankle is close to completing its healing journey is the vessel’s aggregate energy level. We feel blah during healing because the vessel is using metabolism and what we feed it to repair the damage. The system has pulled us down to the sofa many a lovely afternoon when we insisted on going for a walk.
The “funny” thing about recovering from an injury, is we darn near completely forget about the process of the previous injury — which granted is usually years in the past.
Anyway, these are supposed to be “notes” they might as well be part of the post.

The power of belief is powerful and enlightening. But sometimes it’s debilitating. Humans only want their thinks one way. Their way. They will tout the “power of belief” but what they really mean is the power of their own belief and if you don’t believe then you get pushed off the bridge – or at the very least out of the circle – which is what a church is.
Our collective – which is what the writer is referring to in the first person plural – has adopted and internalized both the power of belief and the powers of dis-belief. Again it’s Yin & Yang, the breath, the in and out of The All. Universe.
We promote “ritual” as a weapon against fifth generation warfare and general insanity. From undisciplined soldier to extremely disciplined veteran, we get that we “must” maintain the circuit – even if it sounds crazy and looks crazy. Better to be crazy than insane.
We are giving the clove tea another shot. This time we measured better and used ten cloves instead of seven. At the beginning they were floating upright. They looked like people. Then they clustered together. I thought this might be because of the angle of the pan, however as the water came to a boil they scattered. Once again we breathed in some of the steam. We can actually see the oil slick on the surface of the water as the cloves release their healing essence.
I think we have a better batch tonight. I poured the clove water into a tea mug with an infuser full of fresh ginger. We will just let it steep a little bit.
Last night, after sipping this tea-lixir, the stomach felt some-kinda-way. Not exactly a pain or ache – but like it was having a new-ish experience. Like when We would drink orange juice too fast as a kid. You know? so we could go outside and play.
Mmmm. Yes! Better batch than yesterday. Just a squirt of honey and we are off to the races.
We started out talking about the power of belief – but as the day is at an end -- and the sun has set We don’t feel called to continue with this. Oh well.
We will get more editing done on the show and do a few more reps before bed.
If we are blessed with another day of pleasant weather maybe we can get to the playground for a workout.
Maybe my Substack resolution will be to post more selfies. Ha ha ha. Just what social media needs. One or two would be more than I posted this year. For real for real though – every episode of Full Metal Ox is one long selfie of a rambling sooth-saying-alchemic-spirit-healer and vagabond-philosopher.
