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. There's no right or wrong. It means what you think it means, or what you want it to mean.
I look for a photo worth contemplating or, failing that, something odd or silly. And I stay out of the comments box for most of the day to avoid influencing the intellectual path of the (usually highly erudite) discussion.
As I post each new Zen Monday photo I add a label to last week's to identify it if necessary.

The bracketed letters on the sticker are the cleverest part. Whatever the message. Because you stand there as you wait for the button to perform magic and turn the light green, and you try to make out the words to a small revolution.
Now I know I love Zen Mondays.

So when you push the button you accomplish two things at once? Or, perhaps you cast a vote for, or against, the revolution.
I'd expect this sort of thing in Berkeley, but Pasadena?
Contra resist = Yield (to traffic?)
At least the arrow points to the Left.
Everything's too easy these days.
Each morning, as Pasadena's planning-division manager crosses Garfield, he's reminded of the teasing he had to endure during the late 1980s.
Push me, pull you.
I love all the textures in this photo. It's so layered and worn. Lovely photo!
Zen Monday always leaves me feeling so inadequate. I can never come up with anything clever. Between this and Laurie's "write the script" posts, I'm going to need a shrink. Do you think it's where I live? Maybe I should move to the left coast.

V...I don't think it's where you live...I am frequently stumped myself!!! But I sure enjoy reading everyone else's creativity!!!
two decades spent resisting the urge to go
I guess if the Contras are going to resist then Im not going to push the button.
Chief, will you be my new shrink? You're good!!

Sorry V...after I got my MA in Counseling/Psychology I realized I was too burned out (almost 20 years in sp. ed with psychiatric/post incarceration kids) to do the intern thing...became a personal coach instead!!! (true story!!!) We tell it like it is!!!
I figured I'd be a real revolutionary and cross when the red hand was up. Very daring.
There seemed to be so many contradictions in the picture--the arrow, the button, all the implications of following instructions...and as Eleonora points out, the bracketed letters. What?
