Getting Wherever However

9-11 MapQuest

What always confuses Guides is why adolescent Rhinos simply do not avail themselves of the help that sits before them. Guides are there to aid the Quest, to further the Quester’s aims. Heaven knows, their moms remind them often enough.

However, there are experiences which the young Rhino needs, but how those needs are determined is not known, even to the Guides. It is frustrating when help is all one can offer, but the internal gyroscope of the individual will always take precedence.

It’s a rare Youngster who asks for help. Good thing, bad thing? Who knows?

Rolling Along

9-6 Gettin' on

Rhinos do not die of old age. No critter in the Wild does. We each press on until something interferes with our activities. If We avoid predation or hunger or disease or accident, We still will face a time when We can no longer eat enough to keep going.

Then We are recycled. That is how it is in the Wild. It seems a perfectly planned system to Us. Knowing all that makes it clear to each of Us that our time is finite.

It also makes it clear that We each will go in an elegant way; We will be useful no matter what. Naturally.

We find that awareness comforting.

Digest this!

9-5 TheChase

Some opine that We Rhinos chew too much. These critics seem to have a weak understanding of the necessity of our ingesting as much as possible. In the Wild, this “possible” is not always endless, so Rhinos need to get ahead of the game whenever We can. Big bodies demand big fuel consumption.

While chewing is Essential, it is not always Intellectually Absorbing. It is while We attend to this needful effort that We have time to compose a range of alternative experiences. These are mostly jolly imaginings, since We like to keep up our spirits; Merriment aids digestion. You see our point here, doubtless.

Our state of mind is an assignment to which Rhinos must attend. And We do.

9-2 Mirroring
We just wanted to remind you of Your Inner Rhino‘s mission, our desire to connect with you Readers. What sometimes might slip your mind is that everything We see and think and do is as Natural to Us as it is to you.

If it weren’t, then We would not be so amazingly understandable to you, as you read this blog. What do We think or wonder about that you don’t? Right, nothing much. Or nothing much of singular importance.

What We refer to as Your Inner Rhino is that quintessential bundle of awareness that all living things share in common. It is as breathtaking in Us as it is in you, right?

Right.

We interrupt this broadcast…

9-1 connections

It sometimes takes Us by surprise how hard it is to tune in to anybody else’ wavelength. We probably all agree on the main events, like dinner. We share some humor, usually about weather or hyenas.

But after that, what makes anyone else tick is mostly conjectural. We assume they are like Us, but in a different body. Their wavelength simply does not yield to our most serious efforts to receive it.

And seriously, how often do any of Us remember to try?

8-29 FindingDinner

Rhinos need to go to where the plants are if We want dinner. We do, so off We set.

Some people think plants are stationary, but that’s not entirely so. Give them a while and only Nature knows where they have migrated. Plants do not amble, it’s true, but they get around, all the same.

Then We go find them and gobble them up.
