Deep Vibes

Bijay Rana

You've had those moments when you ask yourself, where did I come from? Why am I here? What is my purpose in life? You've been searching for answers for these questions deep into your consciousness, and you become lost in thought.  Your thoughts become undirected as you try looking for the meaning in life, searching deep into the crevices of your soul. When we are deep in thought, we become tangled with different ideas, which makes us motivated to search even further.

Aaron Kelly said, "One thing I've wondered about life is what if God only allowed us to suffer for our whole lives and only gave us His Son as a sacrifice and nothing else? What if He never gave us encouragement or guidance during our life except for in the knowledge that Christ saved us, and we have a home with Him? Even if the rest of our lives were bitter suffering, would the fact that God saved us still make Him infinitely loving and gracious? Could we rest in that if we had nothing else to rest on, not even scientific evidence of His existence?"

"A common theme for me would revolve around the mysteries of nature, such as ‘are those sparkles in the sky actually stars, or are they galaxies?’ Or, ‘why are cookies baked, and bacon cooked?’ And finally, ‘if tomato is a fruit, then is ketchup a jam?’ Many things motivate me to ponder these thoughts, but they mostly stem from my innate curiosity of all things deep," said Kai Fraser (12).

For seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, and years, you think; but that one question or idea haunts you continuously.  In the ocean of thoughts, you may look at the shallow side and not dive into the deep. But what is holding you back?
