The Princess and the Pea

I believe the root cause of insomnia is the inability to let go of the little annoying things that rob us of our peace of mind and that keep us from that precious thing that “knits the raveled-sleeve of care” precious sleep. The Princess and the Pea illustrates my hypothesis perfectly.

The tiny pea though covered by a ton of mattresses was still so disturbing to the Princess’s over-sensitizes skin that she could not put it out of her mind long enough to doze off.

I love the little song that says, “When I’m worried and I can’t sleep, I count my blessings instead of sheep and I fall asleep counting my blessings.” Try it next time you have trouble turning off your troubled mind. Use that brain power to remind yourself of every good and perfect gift that is ours to enjoy.

Your friend and fellow traveler,
