Being

Sometimes simple does it. Sometimes it’s the simple things that are so winning. And such is the case with easy amusements, those casual sort of attractions that are so simple it’s surprising they are so entertaining, too – though not too surprising as you imagine the exhilaration of walking, as if suspended in mid-air, a thousand feet above street level, taking in a bird’s-eye view of a city like Sydney, Australia.

For such is the case with two of Zalman Silber’s creations, the Skywalk and The Edge. Though one is in the open air while the other is an enclosed affair, respectively, they both get your blood rushing with the kind of excitement that comes from looking at the floor and seeing a thousand feet beneath you.

One needn’t take in such tourist attractions like these Zalman Silber vehicles in order to enjoy some simple entertainment, of course. A walk through a nice big park can be just as invigorating. Remember that bored people are boring! They not only bore others but bore themselves. Indeed, the frame of mind that is bored is but a symptom of a deeper intellectual and even spiritual poverty, however momentary. Boredom is nothing but the failure of our imagination, or at least the temporary respite it takes, leaving us bereft of the awe which should properly accompany this journey of ours called life, a travel through many adventures of the soul.

And it is ironic, too, that for those with the richest inner lives easy amusements abound. You would think that intellectual sophistication and refined tastes should imply some rather complex interests, but true intelligence is able to enjoy entertainment both refined and earthly. And so it would seem that the true achievement is to cultivate one’s own mind, one’s own self, to be alive, truly alive.

For what is boredom but intellectual death? Yet the quiet mind is eternal, one that is not subject to noise and other distractions. It is an interesting matter and likely the most subtle one of all, this problem of the mind. We are so full of questions – or not. But neither implies real intelligence, which is still – which is.

And so it is that one may enjoy a simple day in the park, simply enjoying the sun and wind. Truly, when one empties the mind, as the Ch’an Buddhists teach, one can be at home anywhere. For what is boredom but a certain strangely passive restlessness, an irritating flame that does not consume nor subside?

Most people do not understand the eternal. In our quiet tired moments we receive small vague intimations of it, and some of us then search puzzlingly for more of it, but very few understand what it’s all about.

The Very Best Wine Holders

Wall mounted wine racks essentially are used to store and organize wine, and are often elegant furniture pieces in themselves, with stylish designs that evoke and complement all the allures of wine. They could be constructed of any number of materials, but wood is generally favored because of the role wood plays in the taste of many fine wines. Full-fledged wine racks may occupy the entire cellar of a collector, while much smaller wall mounted wine racks could be displayed within the kitchen or other areas of the house. There are even wine holders that contain space for only one bottle!

Wooden wine racks can involve any variety of wood species. Cedar is particularly well-known for its aroma, though purists object that the aroma can penetrate a bottle of wine via the cork. Generally speaking, wood is a favorite since it is very easily workable, with any number of different paints and finishes available for the creation of very distinctive looks, an important consideration for collectors who wish to display their wines in the best possible ways.

Many wine holders are made of metal, however, and although it isn’t as easily worked with as wood is, metal allows for much more uniqueness in design. Because of the natural properties of the material, metal can be produced into more fluid and flowing shapes, the most sinuous of which is impossible to render in wood. Metal racks tend to be utilised for only short-term storage, and stainless steel wine holders tend to be found in kitchens, matching numerous contemporary décors.

Wrought iron is another common choice when it comes to a metal wine holder, and can be manufactured to seem extremely “heavy,” in the sense of “gravitas,” lending the wines held a sense of tradition, authority, and blue-blooded excellence. Because of the characteristics of iron, the most innovative shapes and designs are created utilizing it.
