Exactly where our Rhino is headed, either on foot or by conjecture, It is not YIR’s focus today.
What Rhinos must grasp, in the Wild or in Captivity, is that wherever We go, there We are.
That’s just how it is.

The Granite State
New Hampshire was the 9th State, admitted June 21, 1788. There is nothing to prove that Snowfall was invented in New Hampshire, but there isn’t much to prove it wasn’t.
New Hampshire gets plenty of Winter, but make no mistake: for the native Critters, it can be demanding in the Wild.
Rhinos seldom live in New Hampshire year round. We visit, We enjoy the beauty of the territory. Still, We are not good at winter sports. When you weigh in over a ton, slipping is only funny in theory.
for the birds
The Blue Bird of Happiness is a symbol of joy, more than an actual critter with feathers. A Literary Conceit.
Rhinos don’t say these birds don’t exist, and never did… just that they do not appear in books of Ornithology.
Spilled Milk
Catastrophes happen, no two ways about it. Things are dandy, and then, without warning, they are not dandy.
The Rhino Quandary is usually whether to shriek with woe or laughter. More often than not, We go with Choice #2.
Primal Screams really take it out of Us.
Leaping Lizards
As many a Rhino has said, often.
Felicidades
‘Your inner Rhino’ salutes all the folks celebrating Puerto Rico Day! Congratulations!
Getting it in gear
Exactly how We Rhinos formulate Decisions, We cannot say. By far, the majority seem to spring out of the blue, urging Us forward to activate that Decision, whatever it may be.
It might be tempting, perhaps, to think that Decisions are the result of an insightful, informed cerebral process.
Frankly, We Rhinos are not the living proof of that. Nor are many other critters, as far as We can tell.
On consideration
And in this corner…
Rhinos have a reputation for Toughness. And Bigness. We are that, and a good deal more.
Experience has taught Us one major thing, namely, Fighting the Facts is mostly futile.
Believe it, unless you want to try it yourself. Remember, you heard it here first. “Your Inner Rhino”, Home Truths Department.
on Our Way
Rhinos are all good at Ambling and Roving, one place to another, at whatever pace suggests itself. Our primary pursuit is food, so that dictates many decisions about routing.
Consequently, Rhinos are always in the process of Arriving and Departing. We can’t proceed without doing both at once. Where We arrive may not be our ultimate Destination, but We still must do all the steps in between. Inescapable.
Whether We are paying a lot of attention or not.
