Mending Walls

One of the earliest poems I remember hearing, that fundamentally stuck in my brain, it would have been 7th grade, is Robert Frost’s “Mending Wall”. Two phrases that are cleated in my brain are: “Something there is that doesn’t love a wall” and “Good fences make good neighbors”. I have included in the show notes a YouTube link to an actual recording of Frost himself reciting his poem. It’s fascinating to hear. Frost makes the powerful statement- “Before I built a wall I’d ask to know what I was walling in and what I was walling out?” What about walls? Where do you end up as a person if there are no walls? Are ALL walls bad? The human spirit longs for freedom to soar and become, but how is that possible from the vantage point of fallen man, who transgressed that first wall of God mandated prohibition, only to land outside the wall in ruin and eternal damnation? There IS a spiritual wall that comes from God, that both protects, restricts, AND at the same time provides ultimate freedom and liberation. In this episode we will discuss how we arrived at our present state collapse in our society and how we get back to a place of peace, prosperity, and meaningful community.
