Rhinos don’t have beds. But We are told that you can get out of the Wrong Side of one, and be cranky as a result. Our question is: how does anybody know which side is which? Does the bed come with directions?
Those of Us with an active Inner Rhino know how close to the edge We sometimes feel, décor issues aside. Seems hazardous associating with mood-altering furniture.
Maybe there is a part of this We do not fully grasp. Weird.
Your Inner Rhino wishes you all the very best, today and every day.
We are aware that Fish and Wish rhyme, but you will be happy to learn that We have not made a poem. Restraint, that’s one of our fortes. Also, the poem wasn’t any good.
Yes, Big Sentiment has its place. We admit it.
The reason Deception is so uncommon with Us Rhinos is that it has a Stink to it that Anybody could detect at any distance. All the phony smiles and bamboozlement on Earth mean nothing. Chicanery is malodorous, and makes all decent critters blush.
It is a good thing We can detect shiftiness with our noses, as We are pretty trusting. We like to extend the benefit of the doubt. Easy targets.
So you see Stench has its uses; without it, each of Us would probably own the Brooklyn Bridge.
Each and Every Rhino has a distinctive scent. We smell like Us at birth. We are known to one another by scent, mother-to-tot, tot-to-mom, mano-a-mano, BFFs, neighbors, etc., etc.
We take in vegetable matter, and through a surprising transformation, it is converted into poop. Not just any poop however, but highly individualized poop. All the time the food is inside, different Teams are manipulating matters so that when it comes out, any Rhino would know it was your poop and yours alone.
Each of Us produces a daily poop diary. Each of the stars on the chart represents a check-point where the Team takes action, improving the product, based on a host of variables. The Team orchestrates our scentformation, detailing our health, our mindset, and a raft of other particulars. You name the characteristic, it has its unique bouquet.
Flabbergasting, this Team. HOW DO THEY DO IT?!?
The answer is: Genius!
In SE Asia, where We Sumatran Rhinos come from, things are jungly and hilly and pleasingly unpredictable. So it should come as no surprise that We have become light on our feet, and agile to a fault. We often practice as shown, just to keep ourselves prepared. Practice, practice, practice.
Also, a good sense of balance is a help. Also a sunny disposition.
Lighten up.
Occasionally our imaginations go haywire, suggesting We are superior to the rest of Creation. High and Mighty and La-Di-Dah, too: Fancy-Pants Syndrome.
That is not how Rhinodom works. Each of Us is responsible for self-governance. No Rhino rules another. Each of Us contributes to the enhancement of the Family in its Cosmic Sense.
When We do become Insufferable, Nature steps in, delivering a swift kick to our rearmost regions. And usually None Too Soon.
Wake-Up Calls are part of the Natural System.
When We are scooting around in the Wild, We get revved up. Some sort of whiz-bang happens inside, which is called Endorphins. We feel great, very Can Do. Not so much nutso, as Dynamic and Electromagnetic. And occasionally Heliotropic.
That is one reason you may see Us taking it easy from time to time. We just have to download; there is only so much Joy anybody can stand without having a Spontaneous Combustion.
Your Inner Rhino
