The Big Picture

On September 25, 1513, Vasco Nunez de Balboa “discovered” the Pacific Ocean, after a trek across the Isthmus of Panama.

The Pacific came as a surprise to Balboa, but every Critter onshore knew it was there, and had been for a long time. A Really Long Time.

Rhinos do not disdain these Discoveries; We have them all the time, though usually on a more domestic scale.

Calculatin’

Rhinos do not count above three. We go one, two, three, Lots, and let it go at that. It serves our needs, as We see them, and has for millions of years. See, Millions = Lots, right?

The Abacus is fun to play with, shoving the beads around, but what it “means” is mostly uninteresting, to Rhinos. More or Less.

On the other hand, today marks Your Inner Rhino‘s Post No.1800, which is, as mentioned, a Lot.

 

Edges

Rhinos are always a part of the Time and Location in which We live, then and there or here and now. We are not separate, distinct from everything else. We are an integrated part of the whole Natural Shebang.

In some sense, Rhinos have partitions, places where We are not whatever is enveloping Us. But those edges are hazy; where do edges Go when We doze, or blink, or forget to wonder about it?

Right! Nobody knows. Even We Rhinos.
