R Potentialities and the Quest

Each of Us has a floating range of possibilities during our time on Earth. But in adolescence, as We prepare for independence, one Choice seems to weld itself to the individual Rhino’s Willpower, seeking and demanding expression and investigation. Exactly how and why this happens, nobody knows. But between other mundane assignments each of Us concentrates Awareness on that individual focus. No two Quests are alike, no framework is defined for the Quest. It simply calls out for attention, and the call is answered gladly. What one Rhino finds stimulating mirrors what every other Rhino experiences, in some cosmic interconnection.

Possibilities fl 11-2

What makes the entire solo investigation so fulfilling is the certain knowledge that the fruit of the project enhances All Rhinos. Each of Us is made more complete by the efforts of every other member of the Rhino Community.

And the answer to your next question is: Yes, enhancements last through Time. Each of Us is enriched by each relative, living or past. Daunting, right? The concept of the Quest is mysteriously linked to RhinoHeart. Which of Us would not be eager to pitch in?

Heaven Scent

Whereas your concept of beauty is often defined by Sight, our primary mode of communion with the Planet is by Inhalation. Every living thing has an aromatic footprint, so We are continually awash in stimuli, delivered from every quarter, a theme We will return to all the time. It would be grand if We could hit on every aspect of this topic, but alas, it cannot be.

Nasal Rhapsody

As was mentioned previously, Scent does not transfer electronically with any hope of accuracy. There is no tone, no reverberation, no nuance, no mood that Scent does not embody, envelop, and enhance in the Wild. The connections are infinite, individual, and inspiring. What a privilege it is to have a Nose! Makes us weepy when We think about it.

This is what it is to have a Feeling Heart.

If I’ve told you once…

Temper 10-23Ah, how lovely it would be if a whip and a chair could control the matter. We Rhinos have quite a reputation as peppery, and to some degree it’s justified. Our burden is our extreme sensitivity, our own artistical spirit, our reactivity to a slew of stimuli. Life in the Wild is unpredictable, and sometimes our nerves just punt Us over the edge. Generally We are placid, refined. Then, to our own astonishment, We are triggered by something-or-other, and We go ballistic. Then out pops some “Extreme Behavior”.

When the dust settles, We often have regrets. That, unfortunately, does not always rectify the situation. Thus in the Wild, We are often left alone to attend to our own business, undisturbed by other critters. That way, nobody needs to be sorry. Works for everyone.

“Caveat Interventor”. (Let the intruder beware). Ah, Latin! Pretty classy, huh?

From the Park Bench

mayflyWhen humming matters over, We often refer to bugs. Bugs mostly have short life spans, all told, some very brief. Yet to each bug, Life is a mystery filled with hopes and expectations and desires and humor and joys. All their experience of Life can occur in a matter of hours. So, is their life inferior to a Rhino’s, or is it lived at a fever pitch, a buggy roller coaster of ecstasy? Hello and Goodbye! Wow!?

What we do feel pretty certain about is that for each critter, whatever Natural Law governs it, Life is a precious, magnificent experience, from its own point of view. We are not able to interpret the particulars for any other critter, even other Rhinos. We can only cultivate our awareness of our privilege in the Grand Experience. Each of us, all the time. What a gift!
