And some others, not so much.
We at YIR send our regards and fond hopes that you are behaving sensibly. If possible.
Yes, this is antique art, but it’s hot here too…

Not Quite Here… nor There
Every now and then Rhinos find ourselves not entirely sure what to understand. Things don’t seem to add up, and We feel left out of the discussion. We are spiritually disconnected. Vaguely disoriented.
So, We pause for a moment and trust that a breeze will deliver some persuasive tip.
Rhinos like Hints from Nature.
Novelty Incognito
Today ‘Your Inner Rhino’ salutes Mr. Andy Warhol, whose artistic work has made a big impression on the Arts, here and about.
One thing We like about it, is the refreshing awareness that although things may look the same, indeed they are individual… so the Same but, simultaneously, not the Same.
Rhinos may look somewhat alike, but our inner beings are individual, singular, and marvelous.
Working toward China
Rhinos like Variety, new stuff, new insights, novel perceptions. But for those enthusiasms to be effective, We need to keep Alert, listening for Opportunity to knock. Because, if We don’t…
We just wander along, doing the same old, same old, same old.
And Same Old, Same Old can become habit forming. True fact.
One of a Kinds
Generally speaking, of course We are Rhinos, just as many of our Readers are Humans. But each and every one of Us Rhinos is as specific to our history, family, fortunes, and inclinations as any of our Readers. Each of Us is a particular piece of work, changing by the hour.
There may be similarities among Rhinos, but there are no Duplicates.
Each of Us may not be the Ultimate Masterpiece, but that doesn’t detract from our Exceptional Individuality. Nor Yours either.
Who’s on First?
Each critter has a Natural Assignment, something We are supposed to attend to whenever We think of it. For Us, it is our Rhinoness or Rhinotude.
Why ponder issues affecting Codfish, right? They have experience with their capacities and concerns. Rhinos would make a mess if We were told to get things shipshape for them, no matter how well-meaning.
Thus, We are Rhinocentric. We each start the job with ourselves, and that is Task Enough, 24/7.
Self Esteem
The popular perception of Rhinos as Exceptional and Daunting is exciting for those who see Us that way. Heaven knows, Rhinos ourselves like a thrill now and then.
But what We are reminded about from infancy is that other folks’ opinions, while stimulating, don’t mean much. A fickle crew, the Public.
What Rhinos require is to impress ourselves. Daily.
Triple-Jointed
Rhinos live mostly alone, each attending to matters as they come. We live with Mom for a couple of years, and then We move along. She shapes our childhood, but the emphasis is on developing successful solo survival strategies. We live in the Wild, right?
One skill We learn early on is the Self-Cuddle. We aren’t built for embracing ourselves physically, so We have to achieve our reassurance system mentally. When the going is rough, We give ourselves a Wee Squeeze, and recall just how capable and important We are. Naturally.
Thus mentally tuned up, We stride ahead.
The Price We Pay
Fame is all very well, and Rhinos appreciate being thought of fondly, the world over. We are grateful that We are as We are.
But there is a peculiar brand of Fatigue that typifies matters from time to time.
It’s a Glamorous Treadmill, but it’s a Rhino’s Destiny. Naturally.
Olfactorating
‘Your Inner Rhino’ wishes all of our Readers a fragrant and delightful Sunday.
