unresting

Always in motion

Unresting means never resting or ceasing—continuously active or in motion.

The word is literary and somewhat archaic, describing what doesn't pause or find repose: the unresting sea, an unresting mind.

It suggests perpetual activity, often with an undertone of restlessness or inability to find peace.
