Zen Monday: #72



Zen Monday is the day you experience the photo and give us your thoughts rather than me telling you what I think the photo's about.
I also stay out of the comments box for most of the day, so as not to influence the discussion. I look for a photo worth contemplating or, failing that, at least something odd or silly.

As I post each new Zen Monday photo I add a label to last week's to identify it if necessary--if I know what it is.

"...we all become more independent from the politicians!"

(Vote for a canine before you vote for yet another lawyer/billionaire to political power.)

Brenda's Arizona said...

Oh my, the possibilities! Too many 'until' thoughts flood my tired brain.

Wasn't it in the 70s (or 80s) that the big slogan was "You ARE the change"?

Katie said...

Until sure has a good attitude!

Mister Earl said...

The city workers actually decide to do it. True story.

PB: I tried to email you the other day, but it keeps bouncing.

Petrea Burchard said...

Don't know what to tell you Earl, everyone else and his brother manages to get through to my poor, overloaded inbox. Check for typos, maybe?

Susan C said...

. . . I'm good and ready.

That's because Nothing is very persuasive and Until is easily led.

The thing I love about this sign is that—unamended or extended—it's absolutely true. How refreshing to see such brevity in public speech … & it's such a flexible sentiment!

Laurie Allee said...

Oh, I can't follow what the HIker said.

But, wow, this is SUCH a great shot!!!

I wonder if this is like mad libs? Zen libs.

Vanda said...

...until you fill in the blanks.

Placing signs on trees with Nails is a NO NO.....

......until you reach a fork in the road.

...you plan ahead.

marley said...

...we do something about.

A fortune teller's stock and trade, a blank canvas on which you can project your hopes and fears.

pasadenapio said...

...people stop posting notices on public trees.

TheChieftess said...

until politicians and political parties actually state exactly what they stand for and act accordingly...

Ms M said...

...something else changes.

Bellis said...

....the 710 freeway connector is dead and buried forever. And what a shame Arnie refused to sign the bill killing the surface route through Pasadena, South Pasadena and Alhambra.

Maria said...

...someone waters me>

Margaret said...

No. Look around. Things have changed.

Colleen said...

Those signs change from time to time-- I like them best when they are a bit obtuse. Great Zen Monday!

Petrea Burchard said...

I wish every day could be Zen Monday.

I love that some people came back more than once to comment on this one!

Hiker, I will remember your comment today. It gives me a clue how your brain works with language, how you turn a phrase when you write.

Bellis's comments, however, have clues in them. Follow-up tomorrow.
