The boat’s good for thinking too. Quiet, even when it’s not literally. The sun and the water do that for me, and I like the combination. Like how it hits the water, makes my brain feel good, looser. Art does that to my brain too. At its best, it takes me out of whatever I’m doing at the moment, pulls me to another time—at worst, it makes me tilt my head and look at everything a bit differently.
