I woke up this morning, in that time between sleep and waking, to a whisper in my ear from my muse: ” nine weeks.” I surmised that she is taking a break. I looked at the calendar and saw that it will take us to the start of the new year. Perfect! That will give me a break too. Perhaps she will be occupied with visiting others for the next nine weeks. Who knows, she might even drop in to see you. If she does, please pay some attention to her, she does not like to be ignored. If she speaks to you, you need to listen or else she sulks and goes away, then you’ll have to really coax her to come back.
How will I spend the next nine weeks? I will start with a trip to the city to visit the folks for a week. When I return I will have to help Seeta with the yard clean-up. See her there in the photo, getting a head-start on me. Then I will hunker down to figure out what my dreams have been telling me these last few nights. Last night I was driving on the road that I used to travel every day to school, except this time there was a turnstile where only one car can enter at a time. The scenery was like some mythic land, dim lit, a verdant green everywhere. I pointed out to my fellow traveller, “look, the ocean used to be there.” The landscape was very different from when I was a child. Now the ocean had receded and there were new low lying lands with marshes that came right up to the road. My friend pointed out to an animal swimming in the water.
So I will be signing off from the blogosphere for now. I might even be reading some of my old posts; there is a lot of inspired material there that I am sure can benefit me during this time of “hunkering down.” I am often amused that I write this stuff, then again it’s not me but a-muse. 
In case I don’t show up before the new year which is likely, I have learned to pay attention to these pre-awake messages, I want to wish you Godspeed on the journey. Have a contemplative Fall and Winter, and celebrate the gift of this life with family and friends over the holidays. I am learning that the journey is about enjoying what is here in front of me, my life as it is, nature around me, my family and friends. There is no seeking outside of this but looking deeper into the love that is already all around and within. The everyday sacred, the secret to a life well lived, is to see God in all beings, all places and things. Divinity is in this moment in whatever comes into consciousness. In each thought there is the possibility of seeing the aspect of divine presence. Our bodies are the vehicles through which Consciousness expresses itself, we are contained within Consciousness. We are one with our environment, through which the one Consciousness expresses, when we move, the environment moves with us. Play with this awareness and experience the presence of God everywhere, in you , as you.
Namaste!

If we ignore anything…it is repressed and either hides in the shadows of the underworld, or roams like a ghost, or gets angry like a demon, and is always in our face to get our attention.
In your dream I see changes coming upon the Earth. They may or may not be physical in Nature.
Where the Ocean was, is where Spirit Is, and the Spirit is being infused into the earth, …… a green Earth….. a place where it will refind its heart since green is the colour of the heart chakra. The new Spirit of the times is raising the vibration of the Earth, and is ascending it to a place that we associate with Spirit. The two shall merge. Marsh surrounds the road, which is your path, because you are being blessed by Spirit in this new World. There is a turnstile, because there is a barrier, and not everyone can follow you upon this road. The animals of this Earth will again be able to swim with their Heart fully open and within the embrace of Spirit.
You are aware. You ignore nothing. You are everything, everywhere. You are omnicient, empowering, inspiring and present. You need not be somewhere in body to feel connected at soul level.
Hello Bernie,
I certainly don’t want to add to the ghosts and demons that will be roaming around on Halloween, so I will heed this message.
Gee, thanks Bernie, you have just freed up a big chunk of my nine weeks; you figured my dream out.
I like your interpretation, it’s an inspiring message. I’ll see what I come up with and I will contemplate yours.
Thanks for your beautiful words, as always, they are uplifting and full of wisdom.
Love and blessings!
Hello Liara,
“You are everything, everywhere. You are omniscient..”
These are the words of the sages who teach us that we are light, love and truth.
Thanks for your inspiring words.
Deep peace to you!
Thank you for the wonderful posts, and the gentle reminder to take a break and go within. AJ
I will miss you. But nine weeks is not so long and I will certainly make sure your muse is very welcome should she visit my blog.
I had a dream upon awakening the other day, where a voice whispered to me…All will be explained. That was all that was said, but it gave me added faith that I am not alone in this adventure called life.
Enjoy your cleanup with Seeta…a very pretty dog, by the way!
I was thinking about the turnstile for some reason.
We often go through turnstiles to go on rides or to be transported to a new place.
It also may imply we are about to rotate or turn in a new direction, therefore, the new landscape.
Have a wonderful Holdiay Miruh.
Miruh: I really admire your certainty at what your muse said to you.
I will miss your posts, your insights, and the way you always get me thinking … Enjoy your “sabbatical” from the blog world, and I look forward to seeing you in the new year!
Blessed be ~ Nicole
I truly appreciate this phase of your life for it is as essential as the active phase, just that how much are we aware is whats important.
May i suggest that avoid any time frame and just allow it to unfold as it flows…
time and space may not let you to be …you may once again get trapped.
wishing you The Divine grace for total awareness!
Enjoy your time! Your voice will be missed, however I am certain that your muse will speak through others in your absence.
Namaste!
You are always with us in spirit. We are with you wherever you go.
Love the last paragraph! Collectively we are learning so much and awakening. I love to meet people who experience this. It is definitely a growing number!
Blessings,
Julieanne
Hi Miruh,
To quote you when I took a mini vacation, “What a wonderful gift you are giving yourself.” That phrase carried me the entire time. So I would like to re-gift you with your own words, “What a wonderful gift you are giving yourself.” Enjoy your time to merge with your spirit and play with the gods (and Seeta.) Maybe Seeta can blog for you too? I know she is an amazing creature.
Happy Divinity.
Missing you my wonderful friend,
Sending soft love and laughing light across the waters,
M
Wherever your soul is, it is never alone. May you continue to savour meaningful moments and remembering.
Thanks to everyone for the kind comments, I am back now, as I was told nine weeks ago.
Contrary to my thinking, my life has been anything but quiet and inward turning. Much has happened, too numerous to mention here, but I just remember the old adage: if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.
Looking forward to another year of blogging and visiting my cyber friends.
Happy New Year to all of you!
Namaste!
