   Can’t say I agree with this one Hugh, but a noble sen­ti­ment all the same. I’d go for ‘if in doubt, choose’, but I can’t make up my mind.

   Unfor­tu­na­tely, for many peo­ple it’s all too often a case of:
   If in love, doubt.

   Actually, I’d say this is perfect.

   St. Augus­tine wrote, “Love, and do what you will. If you hold your peace, through love hold your peace. If you cry out, through love cry out. If you correct, through love correct. If you spare, through love spare. Let the root of love be within; of this root nothing can spring but what is good.“
   Who knew the sublime St. A would some day be on a wine label??? I’m pretty sure he’s rai­sing a glass to you, Hugh.

   I’d always heard, “If in doubt, throw it out.” Of course, that might have been for lef­to­vers in the fridge…

   Awe­some. I have my own varia­tion: If in doubt, trust. (Based on my deci­sion at one point that I’d rather trust peo­ple and get bur­ned occa­sio­nally than cos­tantly be pre­su­ming the worst and living in fear. Not to trust blindly, but when sin­ce­rely in doubt, to give bene­fit of the doubt.)

   Hi Hugh!
   I couldn’t agree more. Some­ti­mes this truth is so sim­ple that peo­ple believe it morally sus­pect.
   I think about it in terms of basic choi­ces we make in our life: do we choose fear or love?
   I wrote about it in a post awhile back, after beco­ming a Mom for the first time and rea­li­zing that I could let my life be ove­rrun by fear if I let it.

   Thanks for a great label. I don’t drink, but you almost make me want to.

   Thanks Hugh, thank you for having this on the wid­get and for ligh­ting up my blog with it.
   I guess you don’t have an exact mea­sure (and some­ti­mes I think we can have only a slight sus­pi­cion) of how things like this can con­nect with peo­ple and in how many levels. From the “aha” moment with a post about wine mar­ke­ting to the “ahahaaa!” moment sta­ring at some red lines on white.
   Well, I no one unders­tands me, I don’t blame you. I liked that damn ‘toon a little too much.

    Hi there! By coin­ci­dence I dis­co­ve­red your web­page with the won­der­ful car­toons on it. Really they are awe­some.. I like them a lot. Any­way I just wan­ted to say thank you for making me see your work because it gave me lots of new ins­pi­ra­tion… so thank you very much! I hope you’ll find your­self some too, the ins­pi­ra­tion I mean, any­way have a nice day and take care, or what ever you pre­fer,

    So true. It’s sad, really.

    I also dis­co­ve­red these car­toons by acci­dent. And I love them. They are won­der­ful. Many of them are quite sim­ple but glo­riously enter­tai­ning. My favo­rie one is “Keep fee­ding me per­fectly con­tro­lled explo­sions of joy and we’ll get along just fine“
    Bles­sed be,
    Rach
