Okay, logic and the real world aside, the other day i saw a sign that God wanted me to point out that I haven't got around to doing yet so I will now so I can go back to being the crazy lady instead of the rational, agitated lady. Because crazy is more fun.
So Sue has made a big production of assembling detailed Easter Baskets for years. I think it may be because she never had children or maybe lost a child or something, sometimes she gets teary while I'm helping her and I don't ask why, I just help. She spends a BOATLOAD on these baskets, maybe $100 a piece. One year we had 13 baskets to assemble, and color coordinating them is very important. Each child is assigned a color and must find 8 eggs of that color, that way every child get the same amount of eggs and it's all coordinated. China only churns out about 10 different colors, so one year we had to get creative and make a football-themed basket, a spiderman-themed basket, a gold basket, etc.. This year there are only 8 baskets, when the kids hit barmitzvah age they get Target and iTunes gift cards. This is a new rule. They're not even Jewish, well one of them is, he determined the new rule. ANYWAY, I was commenting to Sue that I thought the year we had 13, it must've been hard for the kids to distinguish the difference between the turquoise eggs and the teal eggs, that when they're together they look different but in a bush on their own they might look like the same color, to which Sue gave me that look, that GOD look and explained carefully, "When their mothers are with them they help them find the right color. THeir mothers help."
The metaphor was that Great Workers all have their own God Mother that lines them up with the news item their mothers knew they were responsible for. So my God Mother knew I wasn't part of the great ice runway landing, but that I WAS part of the Ford golf course landing. A rational, reasonable artist doesn't take credit for all the great stuff, just the great stuff they participated in, because they follow their mother's lead and find only their proper-colored eggs...in the news.
