In Manitou Springs, Colorado, a yellow house painted green became a training space. Initially lacking furniture, over time it filled with useful items, notably rocking chairs. Evaluating the chairs revealed differences in motion quality. The first chair had a shallow rock, while the second rolled smoothly. The third was an average between the two. Upon further reflection, the aesthetically pleasing yet clunky chair offered strength and beauty beyond its rocking capability. This led to a deeper appreciation of items beyond their primary functional qualities.
When it comes to a rocker, it's all - or largely - about the quality of the rock, and they aren't all the same.
The first rocker had a shallow, clunky rock. The second moved with a smooth, balanced, effortless roll.
I realized the clunker had more to offer. It was strong and solid, with beautiful curved arms.
Bit by bit, things were acquired. Yard tools, composting bins, a bike cart, and even a piano joined the collection.
