World of Ease

The lifestyle of Palm Beach is one that’s inspired by nature and by culture. Nature plays a rather pivotal role in everything here, unless it’s ever possible to ignore the waves. No one really wants to, or has a good reason to, since they seem to modulate all the rhythms here and make it an ideal paradise for anyone who wants to get away.

But it’s not just the vacationers in the luxury Palm Beach hotels that are captivated by nature. The local citizenry come from all walks of life, and many different parts of the world, to make for a rather complex and elegant social fabric. It is a great cultural experiment, like all cities. Like all cities, nature influences how people are, but here it’s much more keenly-tuned, because nature itself is so often very lovely.

If there is any doubt that interesting cultural events do happen in town, the screening of the Profokiev and Eisenstein film Alexander Nevesky this past spring should wash away any last traces of cynicism. Events like these show that not only is there an audience for great works of art, but that there is also a great deal of knowledge on the part of the people. It helps to make nature come alive as the pulse of culture beats on, like the patter of the waves.
