Noodles

Have you ever just floated before?  In a lake or a pool or the ocean or something.   Laid on your back in the water all alone with your eyes closed.  But then you're laying there and you're like, hmm, what if I had a noodle to put under my head, or a tube.  And so you leave your place of comfort to get one and you go back to the water and slip it under your head and then think to yourself, what if it was under my whole body, so you move the noodle.  After a series of moving the various flotation devices you wind up sitting completely above water, floating so that the whole world can see your body, and then you decide that you're self conscious so you get out of the water.  Why can't we just lay in the water?  Why can't we stay comfortable?  Why are we all so restless?  I mean, think to yourself, when is the last time you remained in one spot for over an hour, not watching TV, or reading or sleeping or eating or entertaining yourself.  Just relaxing, thinking, and physically doing absolutely nothing.  When's the last time you just sat there in that comfortable place and thought, with silence as your soundtrack?  
I need more silence and rest.  No more movement or neediness.  All I want to need, is nothing.
