The Foie Gras Maker by Bruce Combs

The painting relies on knowledge of the standard, terribly cruel force-feeding, often to death, of geese for the sake of fatter livers. This goose may be dreaming escape and revenge, Peace, etc., Bruce

For Anne-Elizabeth Whiteway, ON THE DEATH by Bruce Combs

Mon, 11 Feb 2013 20:23:22 MST

It takes a long, long time, the enormous constant missing, dearest Anne-Elizabeth. You will never forget, but gradually remembering can and WILL become even happiness, even sharing with friends! Every animal lover knows the experience, many of us several times. Just skim down this column every day! With my most recent pet?s death, I had learned to begin almost deliberately searching out and cherishing positive memories. Remember it takes a long, long time, the enormous constant missing, dearest Anne-Elizabeth. You will never forget. Remember how it has been with your father! Gradually, though, eventually, the sadness and grief and loneliness WILL become even happiness to remember, even sharing with friends (just everyone of us knows the experience; some of us several times). After my most recent kitty had worn out his precious body, I had learned to begin deliberately searching for positive and joyful memories as soon as I could begin. I kept a book, even by the bed, so I would not miss an instance, a moment to preserve, of how the grief of loss of a loved one -- actually the grief over any loss -- gradually can grow into a beautiful flower of memory! But most of all, Anne-Elizabeth, it has been obvious, probably to any of the many who ?know? you (albeit only by internet) that almost immediately you increased enormously the already great amount of kind encouragement you have always given to so many people -- whatever their pain. You know -- probably always have known, far better than any of us can tell you -- from your congenital sharing instinct, that the greatest healing comes from the great generator of endless love that is your heart. There are so many of us to thank you. Peace, etc., Bruce Combs

There Are No Words by Bruce Combs

Mon, 16 Jul 2012 03:15:31 MST

WHEN WORDS FAIL When words fail, thought fails. Does our fragile hope fail? Does love? And how does life go on? And how do we go on? And are we All we are? No answers? No one answers? And so I paint. For fear For Sorrow For Love For Hope For us all --Bruce Combs (Revised June, 2012) NOTE: All of the line breaks disappeared!
