I was particular taken
with "the truth is the truth and a lie is a lie" although it is
distincly not in the spirit of Zen
which sees things on a continuum of relatives and not as
absolutes. I am no expert on Zen (or on "folk art")
but Mr. Light and his self-created environment made a deep and
lasting impression on me. Like a god
who creates a world, Mr. Light has created his world. And it is
a world with such a public face,
right out in front of his house (and "on" the front of his
house) for all to see.
