The Dogs wear no watches.

I took some time off from work on the New Year eve and went to the beach early morning.
Roamed around and finally parked myself under a coconut tree near to a restaurant.

Two stray dogs were near. Dug a hole and basking in the sun to warm up their bodies after a cold night. While I was journaling down my thoughts for the old year passing and the new one arriving - my past and my future...a little burdened...

Then the dogs got up, played with each other a little and walked off.

I looked at my watch to see if it was time to leave... and a thought caught me "the dogs wear no watches" and they do understand something that I miss.


Ecclesiastes 3 - A Time for Everything
What does the worker gain from his toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on men. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil—this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him.

Interesting.

Coincidentally I decided to stop wearing my watch 3 days ago... It's a rather liberating experience.
