The Haughty Princess, a Grimm's Tale

So often we identify with a character in a story or a tale. But what if those characters are not people, but parts of our individual psyches? In the Haughty Princess tale what if we think of the princess as a representation of the ego, privileged and unwilling to commit to anyone or anything? One of the greatest tasks of a human being is to have the ego at the appropriate level of consciousness and work with the soul.  This short tale addresses the process for finding that balance.
