In retrospect...for the most part, this post is pointless and stupid but whatever.
I was in the pool the other day where the suntanning chairs sit in the water. I was laying down on the "floor" of the pool, yet half my body was out of the water. I was eye level with the water, with my head lying on my crossed arms...
I was alone in the pool.
Just thinking...
The water was still.
I stared into nothingness.
Then I saw it, the subtle, yet constant movement of the water.
I came to realize, that no matter how still I lie alone...
The water, will never cease to move.

I cannot describe the feeling I got when I realized this. Nor do I remember my exact thoughts that I had. All I know, is that I just continued to lay there.
It was a unique feeling --- realizing that no matter how hard I tried, trying so hard to do nothing...that I couldn't do it.
I failed at something that required me to do absolutely nothing...
And for the first time in my life, I was okay with failing.
I feel that there is a steady rhythm to the universe. It goes for the most part, unseen. But for anyone who looks, it is there. When someone says they are in the moment, I think they are feeling the steady beat of the universe's heart. Theirs and the universe are one...
You can't explain in words how you feel in a "moment"...but I think I was in one the other night, no matter how insignificant it might have been.

All there is left to say is..."Cool story bro."
