Vanity of vanities

[PRCD]

Vanity[a] of vanities, says the Preacher,
vanity of vanities! All is vanity.
3 What does man gain by all the toil
at which he toils under the sun?
4 A generation goes, and a generation comes,
but the earth remains forever.
5 The sun rises, and the sun goes down,
and hastens[b] to the place where it rises.
6 The wind blows to the south
and goes around to the north;
around and around goes the wind,
and on its circuits the wind returns.
7 All streams run to the sea,
but the sea is not full;
to the place where the streams flow,
there they flow again.
8 All things are full of weariness;
a man cannot utter it;
the eye is not satisfied with seeing,
nor the ear filled with hearing.
9 What has been is what will be,
and what has been done is what will be done,
and there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there a thing of which it is said,
“See, this is new”?
It has been already
in the ages before us.
11 There is no remembrance of former things,[c]
nor will there be any remembrance
of later things[d] yet to be
among those who come after.

And I’ll have you know I’m an early riser. I’m already on a second cup of Dancing Goat; the dogs are fed and walked and back in bed with mama, and when she wakes up I’ll be back in bed with mama

she leaves for a 2 week camping safari in the Okavango Delta. No porters, no cabins; just tents, sleeping mats and cooking ostrich burgers over an open fire. No glamping. It’s literally one guide, one camp helper, one big safari truck, and 12 paying clients. My wife is going with her sister and another friend of the sister. Should be epic.And I leave for Huatulco the day before she gets back.
So we need to rack up some rack time this morning before my nephew wakes up, and before our 3 week separation across continents begins tomorrow evening.

Ecclesiastes 1:14 (ESV) I have seen everything that is done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.

Solomon knew. He had a ton of money and laid a lot of pipe. He had 3 times more women than days in the year.

That said, he didn't surf.

Ecclesiastes 1:2-11

Ecclesiastes 1:2-11

New International Version

2 “Meaningless! Meaningless!”
says the Teacher.
“Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless.”

3 What do people gain from all their labors
at which they toil under the sun?
4 Generations come and generations go,
but the earth remains forever.
5 The sun rises and the sun sets,
and hurries back to where it rises.
6 The wind blows to the south
and turns to the north;
round and round it goes,
ever returning on its course.
7 All streams flow into the sea,
yet the sea is never full.
To the place the streams come from,
there they return again.
8 All things are wearisome,
more than one can say.
The eye never has enough of seeing,
nor the ear its fill of hearing.
9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there anything of which one can say,
“Look! This is something new”?
It was here already, long ago;
it was here before our time.
11 No one remembers the former generations,
and even those yet to come
will not be remembered
by those who follow them.
