Maybe it means: stop with caution…

Um verdadeiro sentimento sempre dura,não importa qual ele seja.
Muitas pessoas sabem:
Amar e Odiar…
Chorar e Rir…
Viver e Morrer…
Andar e Voar…
Falar e Gritar…
Temos todos esses sentimentos em apenas um segundo é como ir ao céu e voltar ou então ir ao inferno e não querer voltar talvez por curiosidade por ouvirem dizer que o inferno é um inferno mais o que nós não sabemos é que o inferno é a gente que faz.
Se nós construímos o inferno por que temos tanto medo do que criamos?

indeed sometimes someone seems to force us to wait.
did we chose that we need to wait?
in this case not…
maybe it`s time to take a look around
meditate search for what´s inside and not only react on what`s coming from outside, which were as children once taught to do.
feeling the power inside, getting aware on what ur soul is searching for. taking each time we can to come back to our inner-self.
what a great gift a red traffic sign can be

Isso é sinal de que algo não esta funcionando bem!!!

Acho que o semáforo está quebrado…

Ou… tiraram esta foto em São Paulo, onde ninguém mais
pode respeitá-los, é questão de sobrevivência…

Temos que levar na esportiva!!!

Stop and stare…when the green light is on you can move on…I had never thought before that the traffic lights hide such a useful meaning for our life, stop, stare, find your way, wait for the proper moment and you are free to go.
Love,
Lia
p.s.there is a song I like and its title is “stop and stare”..nice lyrics..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onOTaGayhU4

The sky signifies the unlimited heavens and the traffic light is our limiting egoistic self.

Why is off the green light? I thing someone was at a crossroad in his life and was about to do a mistake.The red light warned him to be cautios.I think would be maybe easier for us if you see such warning,but maybe the temptation or the haste would made us pass even being aware that we face danger.I can see even old people runing across streets while the red is on.

I remember the time that there were not any ‘traffic lights’ in Limassol. I even remember going to the .. Carnival as as child in the carriage with the horses!! Now in Vienna I have seen the same carriages just for tourists!!
When the first traffic lights were installed, I remember a friend of mine whenever she was driving us home, asking : From which route do you prefer to go ?? Let’s go from the .. ‘civilization’! Now, in everyday life ‘reading’ the signals, that other people show us, we know that RED means stop, ORANGE be prepared and of course, GRENN is the .. permission to proceed. The ability to ..read this signs may save us from … disappointments.
Have a nice weekend and ..’drive carefully’!
LOVE,
THELMA

Prá mim esta foto está dizendo que daqui a instantes o sinal vai abrir. Preste atenção e siga, porque o sol é o guia. Se ficarmos parado, não vai dar certo. A alma continuará aprisionada, num círculo inativo e isso faz mal. No mais..rezemos rápido, para que Deus se manifeste,e através da vontade dele, conclua nossos passos,
para o caminho da felicidade.
Beijos,
Mari Raphael.

Red lights give me the shits …Sorry for the swearing Paulo ..I know its for stopping -uhh and waiting ..I like green better – I always ask my angels for green lights , parking spots and so forth .
cross roads are very interesting -which way to go and so forth so are intersection -ever see that movie with Sharon stone and Richard Gere ..I am not the best with road signs or rules – I am lucky to get off a round about ..on a good day ! I can only drive automatic -manual is to much for me to handle :-) ohh I love that Sienfield episode where Jerry says if your 60 drive 60, 80 drive 80 – old people drive so slow – sleep less ,eat less ..its a funny one ..I love the Dukes of hazard .. also driving miss Daisy .
Love Tania

This photo gives me a sense of being at a crossroads! What do you do? Stop? Proceed with caution? Look both ways? Or just stare at the light.
