Rhino days are demanding, and nights too. Complex schedules, schemes and plans, dietary considerations… it can play havoc with one’s nerves.
Fortunately, Rhinos have Natural systems for keeping our Equilibrium (whatever that is) Equilibriated.
Rhinos can just shift from one mental state to another at will; We just set the dial to “Frivolity”, and start to cha-cha. See? All better, now.
As they say, Anyone makes only one First Impression. Consequent perceptions may enhance or detract from that initial Impression, but the First never entirely dims.
Rhinos do not depend on bonnets or parasols, since We don’t own any. We manage our First Impressions through scent.
Fortunately, Rhinos all smell pretty great, just the way We are.
Rhinos spend a lot of time Pondering. Weighing. Analyzing. Chewing. We might like to say that our thinking is free of Subjective bias or passion, but We have never figured out how that could be.
Objectivity seems to deny Us ourselves in relation to our subject matter. We are to stand aside and assess. Get Scientific.
Well, er, um, it is Not a Rhino Approach.
Sisyphus was doomed to roll a rock up a hill, and when he let it go, down it rolled, damning him to repeat his effort, forever.
Rhinos are familiar with such Procedures; We see that our Course of Action does not work, and never will, but do We find another response? Sadly, seldom.
Does this make sense? No. Who supposed it might?
Curiosity is an omnipresent force which Rhinos must confront, and often. We are interested in Why things are this way or that, right from the get-go.
Naturally, We never get a thoroughly satisfactory answer, so you might think We’d drop the whole business.
But Why would We stop asking Why?
This is a Reminder that today is National Cake Day! Rhino Observations and Insights seem unnecessary, since Everybody knows how to celebrate such a momentous occasion.
With or without a fork.
Rhinos enjoy such a turbulent variety of Mental States that We can’t always define the line between Imagination and Premonition. Our History is top-heavy with Forebodings and Vibrations, many of which turned out to be Useful. Or at least Entertaining.
In action, these Signs strike, like an Accident, with speed and precious little warning. We are in Mental State #A, and then, WHACK, We are in Mental State #J.
Being Rhinos, We take whatever is delivered, and are glad to get hold of it. Yet another excellent and practical Rhino Policy.
There is no day like Today for having a Fine Time. Any Rhino could tell you that. It’s tricky to have a Fine Day Tomorrow, even if you plan it. And even excellent Yesterdays, though memorable, are admittedly over.
So We Rhinos concentrate our energies on embracing Today, since its the only day where We can crank up the Volume and wiggle.
Also, it’s the very best day for a Snack.
Rhinos have unusual sleep patterns; none of this 8 hours a night business. We just go to sleep when We are saggy, and fidget forth when We are awake.
Also, We have other mental states, where the edges are fuzzy. Sometimes We are Asleep-ish, or Awake-ish, though the states are not identical.
Or Hypnotize-ish. Though just how that works is hard to recall, for the most part. Rhinos are pretty Suggestible.
