They are assembled in all their infinite variety with no concerns for their differences. It is as if the two benches in front have called a meeting. The reason for the meeting, let's say, is that it is now a known fact that we are in the midst of huge challenges and huge opportunities on this planet. There is a lurking suspicion that things are possible now that were not always, or even ever before and every single chair and every single color is needed to pull off a new way of doing life on planet earth. One of the benches reminds everyone that we seemingly have the option to do nothing other than more of the same, but everything suggests that path is doomed. "Down deep, we all know that", he further adds.
One of the chairs raises an armrest to ask a question which is that all the chairs present are so different from one another so, how are we going to work as a team? Then another chair chimes in and suggest that these differences are a good thing as we will have more viewpoints to get a larger picture. Another chair suggests that everyone brings a different ability so that also is a good reason to come togehter. Another chair gives a whoop and says this is going to be a grand adventure and somehow, it will be more fun and safer to come together, for all of our differences.
The benches just let the chairs carry on and, with their bench authority, look on in satisfaction. Finally, all the talk comes to a natural ending and they all just share some silence. A nice calm fills the air, a kind of serenity. After a while, the green bench asks "Is anyone scared of the future?" Several of the chairs say they are nervous because no one knows what is coming though everyone can feel big change in the air. Some other chairs say they are nervous and excited both. One chair shocks everyone by saying "I have seen the future and what is coming is amazing in all ways and not to be feared." All the other chairs are stunned to discover this chair can see such a thing and ask the chair that is a seer, why has that not been shared with us before. "Too afraid of being too different" says the future reader.
The green bench assures that being a little scared is not all bad but that it seems everyone would like to find a way to work together in facing whatever comes and asks for a vote. With that, all the chairs, which usually cannot move much on their own all start thumping their chair legs on the ground in approval, at which the green bench says, "all right then. Adventuring together it is."
And so began the Rainbow Coalition of Chairs of Great Courage.
