There is something wonderous about a hug.
It is a way of saying,”you are special to me.”
A step beyond the boundries of formal convention.
The assurance of a heart touching a heart.
A touch of comfort to calm a grieving heart.
A cheek touching a cheek
with a kiss of greeting.
Whether a man to man
or woman to woman
or man to woman
or woman to man
there are no limits to showing
our love for another.
We are all souls in His creation
with an eternal bond between us all.
The hug is the sign of our sisterhood and brotherhood.
Let it not become forgotten in your life
it is precious honey to the wounds of this life
forever giving
forever loving
in the wonder of love
to us all.

A Great Accomplishment for “Silver Star Winery of Texas” copyright 2014 by John J. Rigo
“My Bride” Linda Stewart-Rigo, a graduate of UC of Davis “Winemaking” copyright 2014 John J. RIgo
New Sign for “Stewart-Rigo Winery” formerly “Silver Star Winery of Texas” copyright 2014 John J. Rigo
I am proud to announce that as of yesterday, that my bride of twenty-five years, Linda Stewart-Rigo received her Certificate of Completion from UC of Davis out of California for 185 hours of work toward “Winemaking.” The course consisted of five parts and took two years to complete on-line. It qualifies my wife to be a manager and winemaker for “any” vineyard in the world with these credentials.
With the recent news that Napa valley in the future will now greatly restrict the approval any new vineyards and wineries, East Texas is now considered the next greatest explosion of vineyards and wineries in the world. This is due to great growing conditions, availability of the Wilcox Aquifer and the reasonable acquisition of such lands in this part of Texas: http://stewart-rigowinery.com
Visit us soon in East Texas, 45 minutes from downtown Dallas, to see the fulfillment of our dream in Henderson County, Texas: http://stewart-rigowinery.com. If you desire to receive consultant work on this subject, contact John J. Rigo at texascommentator@hotmail.com or phone me at 469-450-4144.

Proposed Cover for my third non-profit poetry book.
“Working toward simplicty of thought in poetry is the task of great writing. When one can place a few words to express the wisdom of a bible, then and only then, have they reached the top of the mighty mountain of eternal thought.”

Suppose there is a place like heaven
would you have the right to be there?
Would your life be an example to others?
Would you demonstrate passion
and love to others in your life?
Would you put the happiness of others
above yourself?
Would every secret thought in your heart
be one you would be proud to share with others?
Would you be the kind of human
who would bring pride
and love from your creator?
Suppose there is a place like heaven
would you have the right to be there?
Would you be
an example of Love
Tolerance
and Forgiveness toward others?
Suppose there is a place like heaven
would you have the right to be there?
