The other side…
Walls are tricky. We can’t always be sure what’s beyond them.
Unless We can smell or hear something particular from over there. Then We’d know. Probably. Or at least part of the what.
Some Walls are more impenetrable than others, and they come in a wide range of sizes, textures, and colors.
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
At the core of the Universe, each one of Us Rhinos is peeking out from our own cosmic orbit, right? We see what appears before Us, and make of it what We can, based on instinct and exposure and experience… and the weather.
If there is another way to perceive, We are unaware of it. We can apply filters, but they are ultimately selected realities, however helpful or comforting. We know We could select another version, whether We choose to or not.
But all said and done, We are in good hands.
What’s Gnu?
Think of this as a Public Service Advisory: when out in the Wild, keep your eyes peeled for Wildebeests. They travel in huge gangs, thundering around. If somebody is in charge, you could fool Us. No harm intended, they just swarm in any old direction.
Trampling is a lot less fun than it may sound.
Upshot: Look Out!
Spreading the Wealth
Today John Chapman was born in 1774. He planted lots of cider apples, thus the name Johnny Appleseed, right?
Rhinos distribute a lot of seeds themselves, just in their daily rounds. The seeds go in one end and out the other, dispersing them wherever they land.
Yet another fine Natural System. We’re happy to help out.
Cabbage Patchers’ Parade
When Rhinos are born, We know a lot already about Rhinoness, and a good thing too. We arrive with an array of gifts and understandings. (see Dec. 6, 2014 in the Archive)
What We lack is Experience. But that is OK, because Experience is on its way, every whichaway. We can’t turn the corner without another one grabbing Us and shaking Us up.
Yeah!
Hot under the collar
It should not take anyone by surprise to learn that Rhinos each have individualized boiling points. Some are higher than others. Others are lower.
Now you know for sure.
Equinox-ious
‘World Rhino Day’ overwhelmed Us here at Your Inner Rhino. We are still woozy with the honor of the planet’s attention.
Still, the Autumnal Equinox, whatever that may be, is going on, even as We post. It has to do with yesterday not being today, depending on where you are. Also the seasons. These demarcations have meaning for the informed.
Take this revelation and make of it what you can.
It’s WORLD RHINO DAY!
Yes, this very day. Mighty fine news, and the source of a lot of Anticipation and Agitation and Ululation.
Help Us Rhinos if you can. We could use it. No joke.
Thank you.
Gesundheit!
Rhinos have long understood that sneezing is beneficial. It takes all the old and dreary brain cells, and snorts them out with a bang. This makes room for snappy new brain cells to get on with making Us even better.
Nature has lots of excellent systems, for sure.
