Red Bumper Sticker with white type that reads 'Born to Ponder...Forced to Work.'

Made in the USA, Designed by a Canadian.

  • In search of a chair to sit in for work, I unexpectedly came across a rocking chair that made me stop and think deeply about my decision. For practical needs, I needed a functional chair to work in, but I felt the pull of the rocking chair and its’ symbolic intention: a seat for pondering. Not working.

    I find myself pondering life’s balance between doing stuff you have to do and doing stuff you want to do, and this bumper sticker says it in plain language.
