The people in our life even begin to look different. Gentler, friendlier, less threatening, less other. Mother's in Charge, so whatever happens is okay by definition. The Universe becomes a Classroom, life is the Curriculum, and Mother is the Teacher. All we have to do is pay attention and play.
Mother does all the rest.
Mother's in Charge. Some say this is a cop out, and too easy. We respond, try it. First, we seem to snap less, because if life is Mother's Problem, then it's not our problem, so we don't take it so personally. And, when we do snap at people anyway, which from time to time we still do, we don't take that as personally either, so it's easier to apologize, and release it quickly.
