M. Georges Rouault was a French painter, born in 1871. He was apprenticed to a curator of stained glass, and the influence of that period in his life is reflected in his long career. Very individualistic. Very Rhino.
M. Rouault is associated with Fauvism and Expressionism, but We are not sure how that changes his paintings. Words. Names. Anyway, Rhinos like his work; We don’t call it anything.
He seems to have minded his own business much of the time. Again, very Rhino.
Rhinos sleep, doze, daydream, and space out, in rough rotation night and day. We wink and We’re there. We snort and We’re back. A finely tuned system.
We are not house-proud critters, not having houses, but We occasionally wonder who housekeeps in Dreamland? It’s usually shipshape when We drop in.
Rhinos ask because We often leave Dreamland in a Shambles. Who does the clean-up?
If YIR doesn’t pose the tough questions, who’s going to do it?
We posted this in March of 2017, but stumbled upon it while dusting.
It feels like a reminder We Rhinos could use.
So here We go.
Things may be garbled, here and there, and even Rhinos may wish things were perkier. It happens, and We have to get serious and do the Right Thing to mend matters.
However, that does not mean We need to be blue. Rhinos have outstanding Imaginations, so We can imagine Happier Circumstances.
And then, We are in the Pink!
June 10 is National Herb & Spice Day, which We Rhinos welcome. We are always on the lookout for plant developments, and Nature provides plenty to hold our attention.
Herbs and spices come into play in many areas of interest, being ornamental, aromatic, tasty, and medicinal.
This year, the Herbalisti have decided to put a spotlight onto Brambles, which produce delicious berries. Rhinos like berries. Ask any of Us.
Tomorrow is the First Day of May, an ancient day of recognition for the wakening fertility of the World.
It is often enhanced by a modest gift of flowers, left secretly for one’s near-and-dears. A sweet discovery.
YIR is reminding you today, so you can get the ingredients ready to go.
RhinoReminder: what We see is a result of where We are when We make an Observation. If We are on this side of the shrub, it is different than from the other. Naturally.
So We can seldom be certain We have all the facts. Actually, We can bet We don’t have all the facts.
So Rhinos can observe from all sorts of angles, but We might postpone coming to a Conclusion. For Everyone’s sake.
We Rhinos have remarkable Hearing, almost as refined as our sense of Smell. We are always tuned in to both skills, as life in the Wild demands Vigilance.
But that set of abilities has limits; to date, We cannot hear either Yesterday or Tomorrow, no matter how scientific or elaborate our systems may be.
Probably right Now is what Rhinos should attend to. Yesterday is gone, and Tomorrow is anybody’s guess.
Rhinos cannot recall a time when “Uh-Oh” wasn’t useful in the face of adversity. Things happen. And there has to be some outlet for the tensions that arise for one and all.
“Uh-Oh” fills the bill, often.
Rhinos use it all the time, possibly because Rhinos are not perfect, despite appearances.
It is disturbing to realize that much of what the Public are told is misleading or misinformed. The times are distressing, but the news is seemingly political, not constructive.
Rhinos do not have to be thin-skinned to feel manipulated.
Rhino teeth are provided for chewing, not for grinding.
