A little Romance, no matter how improbable, spices things up in the Wild. Romance gives shape to an afternoon. We can pretend We are helpless and mindless, pining for somebody to trot up and save the day. Make-believe never hurt anybody, in strictly limited doses.

Life in the Wild serves up plenty of Reality. Romance can help, but it shouldn’t be confused with Reality; that would lead to Expectations. Expectation is not Natural. We have to understand that what comes, comes. We need to stay alert 24/7.

Rhino vision is second-rate enough without Rose-Colored Glasses. A very little RCG goes a long way.
