This is a great place for a bird nest. The Black Locust thorns provide good protection against some predators that would not be able to negotiate this obstruction.
Our spiritual walk is hindered by many obstacles. When we guard against them we can live in safety.
Psalm 141:3
Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;
Keep watch over the door of my lips.
Job 31:1
"I have made a covenant with my eyes; How then could I gaze at a virgin?
Keeping watch what you say and look at will protect you.
The problem is that we can't keep our own decisions if they go against our desires. The solution is not to keep rules but to focus on what God has for us. A mind set on the things of this world is death. A mind set on serving Jesus and following His direction is life.
Set as your purpose to live for God and not for the things of the world. Then understanding of Spiritual things will open up to you.
