"Water is changing all the time, but it’s also fundamentally familiar. It seems to entertain our brains
nicely with novelty plus a soothing, regular background. Envisage yourself being by the water: the
sounds, the sights, the smells, all changing moment to moment yet essentially staying the same. It’s
regularity without monotony — the perfect recipe to trigger restful involuntary attention."
