Rhinos are not always the last to get it. Sometimes somebody else misses the point before We do.
Where are the decisions made about who gets it first? Who’s in charge over there?
We would like to know, maybe.

pitter patter
We Rhinos are all about fair play. One thing We like is that when it rains, it rains equally on everybody. Everyone gets wet.
There’s plenty for everybody.
What more could We ask?
in Black & White
‘Hurrah’ for Aubrey Beardsley, the 19th c. illustrator, is what We Rhinos say. His eccentric vision, combined with his distinctive composition and pristine linework, is mesmerizing.
It delights all Rhinos to see anyone find a self-expression so dynamic.
‘Wow’ is what We also say. Loud and long.
Just around the corner
Whether or not We Rhinos feel ready for it, We know that Tomorrow is on its way.
Attitude will not change the fact. We have tried that, to very little effect. Agitation does not turn back the tide. Resignation doesn’t work either… too glum.
But before We know it, it’s Today instead, which is never as mysterious as Tomorrow. So that’s a mercy.
Sumatra Tales
The stories and histories that cement the Rhino Family come in many forms, for sure. The majority are related to scent, many to sound, but there are also visual springboards a-plenty.
Rhino Awareness is chock-full of stimulation as it is. Stories, however they are transmitted, help to keep things in perspective.
Rhinos are lucky. Who’d know better than We do?
Fig baskets: full of surprises
At Your Inner Rhino We usually commemorate historic births of interest. Unfortunately, nobody seems to recall when Cleopatra was born, so We are forced to use her death date, back in 30 BC.
Cleopatra was quite a gal: she not only ruled Egypt, but was known for many other memorable adventures and powerful playmates.
Things eventually went badly for her, so Cleopatra stung herself with an Asp. Another riveting hissssssstory lesson from YIR.
Guest Artist
A British friend sent Us this picture, done by a student at the Alice Hoffmann Educational Day Centre in London. They specialize in the treatment of autistic adults.
We like this portrait in a Big Way.
Rhinos always like to be noticed. Who doesn’t?
Kissing up
We can’t imagine why Rhinos would bother to try pleasing everybody. It’s a fruitless task, for sure. What pleases one critter agitates another critter. Where does all that second-guessing lead to? Right, nowhere much.
We are not recommending UNpleasantry. We are merely saying that other critters’ mindsets are theirs to improve. Not our business.
A reminder: We don’t have teeth like the ones in the picture. Just grinding teeth, African Rhinos, that is. But all those teeth make for a more passive-aggressive and unctuous smile.
A Day of Pleasantries
Today is Chinese Valentine’s Day. Any day is a good one for distributing tokens of Affectionate Regard, from the Rhino point of view.
Perhaps it is always Valentine’s Day somewhere, depending on where you are?
Life is full of these Questions. Rhinos are not nearly as full of Answers.
OBservations
Criticism is often surprising, being pretty good. No Rhino welcomes it with open arms, but We have noticed that when Criticism is offered to other critters, it usually has a lot to recommend it.
Ah well, even if the offered Opinion is a good one, it’s easy enough to totally ignore it. Trust Us on that.
