All Rhinos appreciate a snappy Uniform, and can mentally elaborate them to suit temperament and fashion. In our mind’s eye, We acquire a debonair je ne sais quoi.
But Uniformity is a denial of all true Rhinotude. No two Rhinos are alike; We don’t aspire to it. Each of Us has gifts, evidence of Nature’s bounty.
Rhinos have much in common among themselves. But when it comes to presentation, why indulge in duplication?
Tennessee Williams, 1911-1983, was a playwright of great distinction, capturing the varied tonalities of failed expectations and complex relationships, in a distinctive voice of his own.
A brilliant birthday boy.
Rhinos do not chat much. In the Wild, the noteworthy news is apparent to one and all. We can smell it.
In silence We can absorb the rich data that assails Us. It’s a good system.
Linear thinking is not natural to Rhinos, though We hear that Logic has a lot to recommend it. For some, perhaps Logic is comforting.
What dictates the Rhino mental process is a Natural Mystery, with which We do not choose to tamper.
Reason just gums up the works. Or at least, it’s never done much for ours.
Question: Would a Rhino rather fall from the lower building, landing on a hedgehog OR fall from the taller, landing on a pillow?
Answer: Neither, thank you.
Rhinos are heavy, so falls can be oh-so-serious. Impact Issues. That’s why Rhinos don’t generally venture above the first floor.
George Orwell’s 1945 book, Animal Farm, is a chilling tale of animals that take over a farm, led by the pigs. In time, the cooperative slogans that united the animals, shift to favor the pigs. Ultimately the worker animals are as badly abused as when the farm was run by humans.
The powerful work to maintain their power. No news there, then or now.
However fashionable Tantrums and Displays of Temper may currently be, Your Inner Rhino feels compelled to remind its Readers of an Olde Rhino Truism: If you behave too oddly, your head will pop off. Which you are likely to regret.
Rhinos may be impatient when confronted with irregularity, but We do not act up. Honestly.
Some days require a little more Paprika in the recipe, to perk things up. Right?
Confusion reigns while the Seasons are making up their minds, neither one thing or another. A daily crapshoot for Us on the receiving end, without dice.
Rhinos chalk up Weather as a part of Life’s Great Adventure. We can’t think of what else to do with it.
Every Rhino has a full closet (imaginarily speaking) of optional daily get-ups, ways to appear for the world’s (and our own) assessment. When We see ourselves as Victims, We dress and think and act like Victims, and not surprisingly, We are treated as Victims.
This process can develop into a Lifestyle. No Rhino Seal of Approval is forthcoming. Sorry.
(Obviously, there are times when things are truly trying, which is not what We are talking about.)
