Do Good Fences Make Good Neighbours?



I shot this photo one day last week. The trauma helicopter took flight as I stood behind the fence. I reached out to the beauty of the world. I could see it but I could not touch it. I spoke to the mountain. No response. I no longer existed.

The helicopter returned. An unknown person on a gurney was rushed away. My desire was to help. The fence was in my way. I sat on the bench and began to pray.

I read  Robert Frost’s poem “Mending Wall” as a Shawnee Junior High School student . I thought I understood the poem at the time. I did not understand it until today. “Do good fences make good neighbours?”
