Rhinos are always grateful for Nature’s attentions in creating our species. But We can’t help wondering if there aren’t a few improvements lurking around the corner.
Armadillos make good and encouraging teachers . Rhinos often wonder if rolling into a ball would enhance our experience in the Wild. Unfortunately, to date none of Us has managed it.
Neither Effort nor Practice has been enough. Perhaps Rhinos are meant to appreciate what We have.
We at ‘Your Inner Rhino’ enjoy holidays in a big way. We just jump in and go the distance!
Today is (and has been) World Penguin Day. Shown are 1) a sign that says so, and 2) a Rhino disguised as a Penguin. Ha ha! Fooled you!
When We Rhinos go incognito, We are slippery indeed.
Let’s face it: Rhinos are gifted at Camouflage.
The fact that We can disappear does not mean We should disappear.
We wonder, why should We have to hide? Hmm?
Acupressure is a fine solution to the irregularities that besiege Big Critters. Kinks are bound to happen, and Rhinos deal with them, with vigor.
Fortunately, many of these Activity Woes take care of themselves; there are points on our feet which respond to pressure, and so naturally solve our problems. How they do it, Rhinos cannot say. But do it, they do.
For tough spots, Rhinos use Roller Theory; when We exert a ton or two onto a pebble, the offending area relents, almost always. Then We’re back in business.
So today has been Mr. Hans Christian Andersen’s birthday, 1805. He was indeed a noble Dane, and was widely appreciated in Denmark, not to mention the world.
‘The Ugly Duckling’ tells of a mother duck’s disappointment in having a homely son. On the plus side, it turns out the Duckling is a misplaced Swan. Happy Ending.
Mr. Andersen was a fine fellow, but he was something of an ugly duckling himself (though it’s hard to tell with our Rhino model pretending to be Mr. A.)
Interpretive Dance is just what it sounds like; We do it, and somehow the movements translate a sense of one thing or another. The movements may be sweeping or subtle, they still express one attitude or another.
Rhinos have always been gifted as Dancers, and actually, almost all movement is open to interpretation.
If you want to see how varied it can be, watch a crowd at an athletic event; see how invested the individuals are, each dancing away, a testimony to their mental state. Nifty. Or watch a line of folks in the grocery store. Same thing, different Dance.
Phrenology is the practice of feeling around for bumps on the head, lumps which explain why Rhinos act as We do. The process is fun, since We don’t know what We might find. Rhinos all have lumps here and there, but if they indicate something beside clumsiness, who could tell Us what?
We do not know, but We still pat our heads. When it occurs to Us.
We may not know Today what is going on, Phrenologically, but who can say about tomorrow? Right. Nobody.
Whereas it is true that Rhinos do not own hangers (wooden or wire), We felt you Readers might be interested in the sort of casual wear We would put onto those hangers, if We had them- hangers, that is.
Rhinos gravitate to snappy ensembles, though for Us they are hypothetical.
We also acknowledge and aspire to the majestic design talents of Scarlet Envy. What a gal!
Rhinos are vigorous critters. We have a lot to do and We get on with it, whatever it may be. Alert? Think Rhino.
But that only accounts for one Level of Awareness. On other levels, We Philosophize, Envision, and Opine. Likewise, We attend to our frame of mind, tweaking it where necessary, enjoying it otherwise.
Pampering is one of those projects which works best for Us when We attend to ourselves. A moment or two of psychogical “Me Time” can oil our gears nicely.
Over the millenia, Rhinos have dealt with many weather conditions. Today We all live in warm or warmer climates. We get on about our business all right.
But Rhinos have lived in Cold Times as well. Today We are reminded of the Wind Chill Factor, which makes a cold situation even colder. The stiffer the wind, the colder the sensation for the Rhino… or anybody else.
Nature does not apparently feel pressured to please Everyone.
