Music is so appealing! It soothes and stimulates, all at the same time. Pretty nifty.
Rhinos both enjoy it and make it. The Natural material of Music is all around, waiting to be appreciated.
We take note.

Popular impressions to the contrary, not every day is completely Rhino-Friendly.
We grimly try to reconfigure these experiences into Learning Opportunities, and occasionally We manage some satisfaction via realigned perceptions.
But not always.
Little Women
Rhino girls often get confused by Ms. Alcott’s books, because We are raised for rough-and-tumble encounters with Life. Apparently, this was not the case for Ms. Alcott’s audience. The Readership probably sees what adjustments Ms. Alcott was suggesting, the get-up-and-go approach.
In the Wild, gender plays a lesser day-to-day part; it’s every critter for him or herself, take it or leave it.
On that gender thing, please recall that every wild Rhino is raised by Mom. No exceptions.
Also, happy 184th birthday, Ms. Alcott.
Endowments
Critters carry particular responsibilities. Nature assigns our Rhino burdens; We do our best to do Nature proud.
Being naturally Mesmerizing is not entirely easy, let Us tell you. But what can We do?
We have never found the ‘Off ‘switch.
Home Truths
If indeed the ‘Proof is in the Pudding’, We Rhinos understand that to mean the pudding tastes good, proving it was worth the effort.
Still, We can’t help thinking that that is a suspect way of proving anything. As often as not, We operate on Faith. Also Luck.
No system is Fool-Proof. When it comes to Fools, nothing is guaranteed.
Getting Around
Rhinos used to be the GPS-ers of the high seas, aiding mariners on their exploits. We advised the Captain, who could then get the credit; We didn’t care about that.
Today Vasco Da Gama set off around the Cape of Good Hope, India-bound. True, We Rhinos saw ourselves more as Cruise Directors than anything else; We knew what was where already. Plus, We had Natural Resources at our disposal.
Sailors never noticed Us on deck. Seemed odd at the time, but maybe they were preoccupied with sailor stuff. You see what you expect.
First things First
Grass has everything to recommend it. Not only is it attractive; it comes in many flavors and varieties.
And best of all, it keeps Us Rhinos regular. What more could We ask?
Getting Around
Critters seem to be on the go hither and yon. Rhinos certainly are, in spirit at least. Over here just now, and then, there.
We try not to let it overwhelm Us.
After all, We are Vegetarians.
When is the Last Balloon?
Knowing when it is time to Depart is an art form which is sometimes neglected. Rhinos have a sixth sense though, and can pack at a moment’s notice.
We travel light. Owning nothing, We take nothing.
Well, We do take off.
Collateral Considerations
Wickedness is all very well, but nobody’s mood is lightened when the Support Team is unruly and noisy. It’s just a Fact of Life. Wicked becomes wicked-er.
Pros and cons. That’s just How It Is.
YIR Philosophy: hard to beat!
