Engaged to myself

As I watched myself going through the recent events quite often I found myself perplexed. There was much to learn and appreciate... and yet I felt oddly very disinterested as well. It was all nice. I felt at home at each place. Yet as I explored myself, I found that the newness each place offered opened up a new unexplored area within myself.  Sometimes I felt surprised by how well I was doing in terms of spiritual efforts and yet at many times I felt surprised by how little I knew of myself.

It was like (I suppose) getting engaged to myself. Wherever I went, I was constantly watching myself - how I was taking things, how I behaved in different situations, what I liked and what I tended to ignore and where I got caught up...it was getting to know myself more intimately.
