Rhinos don’t actually wear clothes. Why would We? We have a style, a glow, a glamor that is a simple expression of our Core R Being. Our ability to attract is not related to wardrobe considerations.
Still, there is a bit of fun pondering what would make an impression on the piazza, right?
We have active imaginations, We Rhinos.
Every Rhino is on the move, sashaying to some unforeseen spot where We will each establish our own Rhinotude.
Why not enjoy the outing, right?
Rhinos are lucky in a great many ways, and We are grateful that it’s so.
But some species are more Accident Prone than others. Rhinos have a way of getting into trouble, when We least want to.
Possibly that is why Nature makes Rhinos rugged; We have to learn how to bounce back.
Note to Self: Whatever. Rhinos are plagued with ideas, impressions, and ramifications, all stimulating our brains and innards. We simply have too much going on, thinking-wise.
The “Note to Self” idea is endearing, but there are problems. Rhinos do not write. We have no place to store a note until We get around to it. We would be unlikely to ever read it, even if We could; We’d forget We’d writ it.
Or We could set aside a Significant Rock, thinking, “When We see that rock, analyze Gravitational Sincerity”. But what would actually happen would be, We’d see the rock and think, “Rock”. And press on.
Smell is the Rhino primary key to functioning. Having noses of such elaborate sensitivity and discernment is mostly great. We don’t show off, but We can sniff like nobody’s business. We are used to sorting one aroma from another, as the Wild is made up of thousands of different whiffs, each bearing mucho info.
That does not mean that every breeze is delightful.
Rhinos have our own version of “Yuck”, and need it.
Not every truth is a pleasant one, nor is every critter’s mindset a winner. Rhinos are not faultless or always delightful to live with.
What Rhinos notice is that each of Us nurtures our own Tendencies, be they Productive or Not.
And, as might be expected, each Rhino gets the harvest of the Effort.
Today in Bee Cave, Texas, We celebrate the predictions of Bee Cave Bob, the Armadillo. Using his own exotic system, Bob will inform the people at the West Pole how to plan their Springtime. And when.
This makes a lot of sense, since Punxsutawney Phil, a real groundhog, is dealing with Pennsylvania and its sphere of influence. (See Dec. 29, 2019.) Bee Cave Bob is working with a region 1,500 miles away, so there might logically be a difference in the reckonings.
Thank you, Bee Cave Bob, for your contribution to Meteorology.
Rhinos don’t do many self portraits. (You may have already suspected that.) We lack equipment.
However, the Primary Reason is that We are in a constant state of development, of subtle change of line and tonality, expression and scent, awareness and attitude. No matter when you grab Us, We are Works in Progress. First to Last.
This perpetual realignment is not a Rhino Problem. We would have no place to put a picture if We had one.
Kansas became a state January 30, 1861, nestled in there among other states and territories on the plains.
Many famous people hail from Kansas, but probably the best known, worldwide, is fictional: namely, Dorothy Gale, the heroine of L. Frank Baum’s American classic, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Dorothy gets relocated to Oz by a cyclone.
As you might conclude, Kansas has some serious weather challenges. Ask any Kansan.
Rhinos are mostly up front with our thoughts and feelings. Why not? We can scent each other clearly, so how mysterious can We be with one another?
Still, each of Us has places We can retreat to when We need to recharge, or offload counterproductive states of mind. Or need to consider matters.
The good part is, Rhinos don’t need to go anywhere to enter this Sanctuary. It’s internal.
Your Inner Rhino
