A question occasionally arises about how much one critter’s Life is worth versus another critter’s. Is a Rhino’s life more meaningful than a gnat’s? A gorilla’s more meaningful than a grasshopper’s? Or a rutabaga’s?
It is not possible to tell, because the value of any life is determined by Nature. Each Being has a purpose, but We don’t get to know it. We can only assume that each and every one is contributing to a Great Answer.
This consideration helps to keep Rhinos humble. Sort of.
An advantage of having Bulk is that there are so many places for our Inner Rhinotude to shine forth. Rhinos stand, awash in our own Natural Positivity. We see one another through this specialized Effusion.
Our true colors, shining through. Small wonder Rhinos are so upbeat.
For you Rain Enthusiasts, now to September is a fine time to visit Us in Nepal. Yes, it’s the Rainy Season, on which We vegetarians all depend.
Not only does the water make everything grow, but it controls the dust, and restores our faith in Variation.
“The world is mud-licious and puddle-wonderful”, to quote e.e. cummings.
It’s true that no Rhino has yet been asked to play the Sheng in the Sumatran Philharmonic. Are We discouraged? No.
Not every Sheng player can be the best in the bunch, or even much more lowly in the bunch. That does not mean Rhino Shengists should despair.
It only means that more Practice may be required. Or, a lot more luck.
Though Consistency may appeal to some critters, it is not a quality Rhinos find relevant to our sense of wellbeing.
Rhinos are utterly at one with ourselves, but that oneness should not be constrained. Rhinos need room for Developments.
Lots and lots of Developments.
In the Wild, there is nothing much to be done about Weather. It comes, it goes, all in its own good time.
Rhinos, like the rest of creation, make what best of it We can. Things usually work out.
Naturally.
Delirium is often spoken of as though it were an undesirable state of mind, typified by a lack of self-control and peak emotion.
Rhinos do not see Delirium quite that way. We feel as though our Delirious Side is lurking around each elbow, ready to take the reigns when needed. And frankly, We are grateful for the backup. Even the most stately Rhino needs to let it all out, the often-er, the better.
Delirium is one of the regulated Rhino’s Default Valves.
Rhinos are always arriving someplace new, on one level or another.
What’s funny is that things are never Quite what We expected. They may be familiar, but Nature is constantly tweaking events and responses. Things seem the same, but then We notice a weensy shift, and it’s Unknown Territory. Surprise!
Nature is cagey that way. Keeps Us on our toes.
We Rhinos are not gracious when dealing with our individual Expectations. When We fall short, We get grumpy, childish as that may be. We call this state Rhinocupine-osity. Cranky is as Crabby does, and like that.
RhinoFact: It’s not easy to to move forward, kicking yourself in the butt as you go.
It is true that Rhinos are ingenious, but that does not mean We are invincible. Things happen; We face Developments.
One thing is for sure: now may not be the time to figure out how We got into this situation. Now would be better spent on how to get out of it.
RhinoLogic: indisputable.
