Inhaling, any time, any place… what could compare with the range of information thus acquired?
Right. Nothing.
We Rhinos have no actual clothing, nor do We own anything else. But We are Maestro Stylists. We have extensive Wardrobes by Conjecture.
What We feel needs pointing out is the importance of Accessories, no matter how stylish the ensemble.
And let Us face it: nothing outshines the Tassel in that Department.
Here at “Your Inner Rhino” We get many requests for Vegetable Recommendations. We hate to disappoint, but We eat so many different plants! And our system is dictated by scent, not nomenclature.
Besides, We don’t see any species of plant as a solitary plant. We catalog plants by their age and consequent flavor profile. Plants sprout, mature, flower, fruit, go to seed, etc., each phase involving a new savory distinction.
We bring all our critical faculties to Dining Science. Our system is to nibble, and if that goes all right, then to consume as much as the situation or our disposition allows. Then We are ready for the Next Course.
Each and every Rhino has our own Rhythm Section, ready to go and then some. It probably is no surprise that We are adept at the old Soft Shoe, shushing our way from here to there, to the delight of all passersby. Shush-a-de-Shush-Shush-Shush, and like that. We are smooth.
It is our upbeat approach to things that makes Rhinos such a favorite in the Wild. We come by it Naturally.
Here at ‘Your Inner Rhino’ We often get questions about our wardrobes. How many outfits do we have, and how big is that closet? We, the Staff, smirk and roll our eyes. We giggle.
That is because all Rhino Outfits are imaginary. We don’t own anything, including clothing. Where would We put it in the Wild?
However, our Imaginations are crazed, allowing Us access to just about anything We can think of, costumes included. And, they all fit on one hanger!
It should be obvious that Rhino Minds are not oriented toward Things, since We cannot own them, or transport them, or do anything much beyond eating them, when advisable.
That does not mean that We are disinterested in Mood Rocks. We like the idea of them, but have to let it go at that. Intellectual Curiosity, they call it.
Certainly saves on Clutter, that’s for sure.
We Rhinos are Scent Oriented, as you may know. If a picture is worth 1,000 words, then a sniff is worth ten million. That’s a modest estimate, since Rhinos can’t count.
Each of Us comes with a unique Essence, an invisible Aura that informs all comers. We ooze Mystique.
This Gift is a burden, but with time Rhinos get used to it. We are a Robust Species.
Rhinos are regularly informed that We are Color Blind. Wellllllllllllll, maybe. We see all right, or at least our vision works for Us to the extent that it needs to.
For Us, Color is a cumulative sensation of Presence, combining scent, texture, hearing, taste AND sight. Color doesn’t reduce itself to any one source of sensation.
Rhino Receptors are fine tuned, whatever the source. Or, more accurately, sources.
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.
