When a species is as old as the Rhino Family, you can believe We are flexible. We recall the values of the Olde or Traditional, and seek Revelation in the New and Different.
These adjustments are best achieved with a lot of Deep Breathing and Time. Time helps.
That’s today’s Rhino Tip. Take it or leave it.
Most Rhinos have remarkable Focus, like a lazer or something. Brilliant. On the down side, We don’t do well with issues of split attention.
The associated Problem is that things, other things, escape our Notice.
And there can be complex Repercussions.
Interspecies Testing is often disappointing. When Humans ask Rhinos questions, the questions seek Human answers. If the roles were reversed, Human would be as nonplussed by the questions as We are.
One thing that Rhinos try to avoid is Random Mental Clutter (RMC). Presence of mind is a Rhino Essential, so trivia does not usually profit Us anything. We are Naturally informed.
When it comes to thoughts, We feel that less is more. Often.
There is something very reassuring about Mornings. The Night has come and gone, and We find ourselves once more on the Brink of Adventure.
Rhinos are made glad by the realization.
Exactly how We Rhinos formulate Decisions, We cannot say. By far, the majority seem to spring out of the blue, urging Us forward to activate that Decision, whatever it may be.
It might be tempting, perhaps, to think that Decisions are the result of an insightful, informed cerebral process.
Frankly, We Rhinos are not the living proof of that. Nor are many other critters, as far as We can tell.
No matter how Grand our fancies, We Rhinos are a down-to-earth crowd. How ever self-confident We may be, and with every good reason, We are not given to Pride.
In fact, We avoid particular Attitudes. This is because Rhinos are somewhat Mercurial: Hotsy-totsy one minute, and Down-and-dirty the next.
We are quick to shift gears, which is a sign of either mental agility or unusual circuitry. We’ve never figured out which.
Some Rhinos are prone to Random Fretting, while others are generally Placid.
Worrying can be enjoyable, if We are wired that way. And often, We won’t have to fuss over that same topic again, so We can apply our creativity to a new angst. Concerns refer to situations without a known outcome, requiring alertness.
We are not discussing dealing with Problems, which have Solutions. We are discussing Anxiety as a Hobby.
Rhinos do not have an easy time conceptualizing our Imaginary Wardrobes. We ponder how much is enough, vs how much is too much, vs how could a little more hurt?
More is More, which is more than the former More, right?
Why hold back? Say no more.
Natural Ebullience has been a Rhino Trait as long as anybody can recall.
If it is a shortcoming, Rhinos shoulder it with Good Cheer.
Ask anybody.
Rhinos get around. We travel, We meander, We swoop, hither, thither, etc. We try the food, assess the weather, meet folks, and all that. Rhinos have been nomadic for millions of years, which is many.
But when We have other things to attend to, Rhinos just concentrate, open our minds to Possibilities, and make the trip that way.
Both systems have things to recommend them.
