Through the Hedge, the Moat and onto....

      GAS PRICES ARE STUPID! That is why the narrator left the Road! Well not really, but I just needed to get that off my chest.
      So anyways from the reading, I got that the Road represented life, our fast-paced self absorbed life. The Hedge in a way represented Christ, and the Moat represented Baptism. However to me the other side of the hedge, represents heaven in a way. It seems perfect and endless, also time stops there. The pedometer the narrator carries cannot work on the other side of the hedge.
      My question is does the other side of the hedge represent the garden of Eden or heaven? I know that it represents where man first started off. It is the origins of mankind, our urge to 'walk' represents some downfall. We leave 'paradise' the walk a road which never ends, it continually loops and doubles over. We leave a lush green land of plenty, for a dusty dry burdensome road. We yearn for our own discovery, only to discover what we left behind.
   Maybe this is confusing but this is some of what I got out of it.
