Academic Proverbs

A passage, I read, in the book of Academic Proverbs, "Seize the day and reach for the stars". Along with many others like "Follow your dreams, don't sell yourself short, and raise the bar". There was no doubt the wisdom behind these words. They resonated well with me until I got to thinking... ... who created the day that I'm seizing too? Who created the stars that I'm reaching for? When so many things must work so perfectly just to keep me alive, who am I to ask for more? The sky is the limit when it comes to one's dreams. But who might I ask gave me the feet so that I may chase them? My eyes take in the beauty of moonbeams. My ears are perked for the rustling of the wild oak. It's always Me, Myself and I is that not the way it seems? Life beckons me forward, but no, that's not all she wrote. "Seize the day and reach for the stars" Profound words, indeed they are. But certainly not everything... ... not by far.
