And how do you change yourself? By tweaking your
perspective. Most run ins in relationships have to do with power play – I want
it this way, and I don’t think your way is right. My mother has been my guru in
this. After a bad day during which she thought she was dying, she has sprung
back and is on the warpath, wanting things her own way. I have, after an
initial, unenlightened struggle, pulled back, and say, whatever you want ma.
Fine, ma. Great, ma. And because I have been doing this, she is in her element,
feeling empowered, and even listening to me when I said to her, ma, the chicken
is done. Don’t cook it anymore. Don’t dry the sauce anymore, because the sauce
is so good. She agreed, and had the cook turn off the flame. She has been in
the kitchen, sitting on a chair, directing the preparation for Payson.
