Rhinos like Variety, new stuff, new insights, novel perceptions. But for those enthusiasms to be effective, We need to keep Alert, listening for Opportunity to knock. Because, if We don’t…
We just wander along, doing the same old, same old, same old.
And Same Old, Same Old can become habit forming. True fact.
We Rhinos are Party Animals, whether anybody’s having a Party or not. Irrepressible, to a fault.
This is what comes of living in the Wild, We are happy to report.
June has arrived.
Rhinos like each and every month, and mostly every day, but some inspire Us to deck ourselves out and enjoy the moment.
Seems like a fanciful enterprise where everyone wins. Very Rhino.
Your Inner Rhino respectfully offers our Thanks to the men and women who have served this Nation and its People, whenever, wherever and under whatever circumstance.
We the Living are in your debt.
Today is Herr Franz Anton Mesmer’s birthday, 1734. He is mostly known today for Mesmerism, the purposeful shifting of bodily energies. He focused on Animal Magnetism, so We Rhinos assume he was on the right track.
He was not universally praised in his own time, nor in this one. But here is an idea: What if Mesmer’s work was valid when he was around, but is no longer? Many Olde Ideas were respected in their time, maybe justifiably so. Who will ever know?
FYI, Rhinos have all the Animal Magnetism We can deal with. Big Surprise.
Rhinos are prey to all sorts of Ideas and Concepts, none of which seem to have a known source. When We are distracted, as Rhinos often are, these Obscurities creep up and jump into our heads.
These are Subliminal Thoughts and Impressions, coming from wherever they come from, and staying as long as they like. We may not even know they are in there, exerting their influence.
It is small wonder that Rhinos are sometimes taken aback by our own special Logic. Golly.
Folk proverbs somehow make Rhinos feel that lot more is being said than seems obvious. We ponder the parts. We wonder.
Perhaps the important part is that We exercise our brains, examining and interpreting.
Rhinos invest good faith in Nonsense all the time.
Today is the day when We celebrate Mr. William Shakespeare’s birth, back in 1564. If it wasn’t today, it was close to it. Maybe there was other stuff going on, or his mother just wasn’t up to finding a registrar. Sometimes, close is close enough.
Mr. Shakespeare had an intriguing life; whole chunks of his timeline are missing, and after all this time, it’s unlikely We will ever fill in the blanks. He became the most famous playwright to ever live anywhere, so his time off must have been good to him, one way and another.
Maybe he spent his time as an apprentice, learning Penmanship. Who can say?
Rhinos are used to hearing of folks going Insane, meaning they are not behaving as they used to. But what is clearly going on is a rearrangement of ideas and priorities, a recalibration of Internal Processes.
So it is completely possible that We are going Sane. That question is all about Definitions and Expectations. For all any of Us Rhinos know, the Rhino in question, clearly agitated, is just getting rid of extraneous Mental Luggage.
Afterward, everyone may feel Better, for all We can predict.
All critters have attachments to their homes. We know that place, We know the rest of the players, We are ourselves known, more or less.
Still, living with ‘Stay Home” rules can be more than enough of a Good Thing.
Rhinos find ourselves climbing the walls, even when We didn’t plan to. Yup, it happens.
