The second Peace Chair I’ve constructed since our G.A.S. Adventure began was built in City of Rocks, New Mexico. Like Rob’s Chair, I gathered sticks from our recent travels. What I find mind boggling is how long it took me to change the length of the two main supports that create the V configuration of the chair. In the past I’ve always used sticks between 60”-70” inches in length for the V part of the chair and 48”-56” for the X configuration for the back of the chair. I only had four short sticks with me (approx. 54”) and being in the middle of the desert in a City of Rocks, I wasn’t going to find any longer sticks, so I decided to build one anyway. What I created was a more compact chair that sits lower to the ground but still fits my body size. I was soooo excited at this new discovery that I spent the day sitting in the Rocks, reflecting on the past, being in the present moment and imagining the future. Like Rob’s Chair, I’ve carried it with us hundreds of miles. From New Mexico, Down to San Carlos, Mexico, up to Minnesota and back here to Durango where we’re currently spending time with Eric and Lauren before we head south again to warmer climates. Not sure where the City of Rocks Chair will end up or with whom it will be gifted, only time will tell the story. Until then, remain grateful for the ones you love, be aware of how that makes you feel and get up off your ass and do something inspiring.
