Gatekeeper Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Tony Sometimes the talent is strikingly obvious we all could see it never mind the cursing words or maybe that was his vent Adventure the world show us who the cooks are their human stories always to look forward to you knew it would be real But beneath his stories was another never told a fire that burned hidden in some painful place and how he snuffed it out Bourdain was unique and gave his all every time that son-of-a-bitch in words he would understand if he were looking back He knew who he wasn't but not so sure who he was said in an interview vulnerable real human who loved the struggles and fights We'll wonder, won't we what happened in Anthony to give it up so to cut short his story tells to end them at sixty-one Quote from the black desert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Gatekeeper, This is a beautiful and surprising tribute. This brought home the loss to the world far more clearly than any reports I've read or heard. Suicide has taken too many talents that enriched the world. I often wonder about those truly talented, if the pressures of sharing their gift with the rest of us is a factor in their self destruction. ~~Tink Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatekeeper Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 He recently commented about his doubts that he could do another season. He seemed tired. Perhaps Tony had become too weary of what Anthony Bourdain had become, or could not become. A great loss to the world of humanity. Perhaps there is something about creative and talented types that we don't yet understand. Something about limitations and how they are dealt with.

Terry L shuff Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I think your on track with that possibility. His travels gave a great view of other cultures of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
