I’m a university student…

Nathan Chud, January 10th, 2011

When I first composed this piece, I was simply journaling about the tensions surrounding university life.  Soon I started imagining what other people go through during these years as they trying to figure out who God is, who they are, and how everything in-between fits into the equation.  I just kept scribbling the stuff that was coming to mind, and this groan/ache/confession of sorts came out.

This is not a theological statement, but sometimes art gives us windows into places clean-cut catechisms don’t go (though I especially enjoy a good catechism too).  Tension like this can paralyze us with depression or engage us with creative force… the choice is up to us.
