When things don’t go according to plan, a Rhino may sometimes indulge in some Drama, just because. It happens.
At such times, a Rhino may carry on, moaning “Why me? Why Me?!!”
The Cosmic Answer, sorry to say, is usually, “Why not you?”

Ponderations
Rhinos are always aware of the Natural World in which We are mere participants, one species among many.
We wonder if this World is merely a forerunner of the Next World, whatever that might be, OR perhaps it is the reward for our Last World?
Since We cannot really say if these surmises have anything to recommend them, Rhinos like to concentrate on this World, and be Grateful.
365, Coming Right Up!
Full of tabasco, 2018 is off and away, poised to embark on its future. And ours.
So much ground to cover, so many discoveries around each bend in the road! And everything seems doable.
Shown here are only a few peaks of the Range of Possibilities.
Shared Wiring
The “Your Inner Rhino” to which our blog title refers is our way of pointing out the finely tuned wiring of Rhino thinking and perception. Obviously, our Readers are party to the same mode of operation, but so are many critters you might overlook.
Not just birds but also almost every critter at one level or another. Rhinos do not hold themselves aloof from the rest of Nature; We rejoice in the connections.
We can appreciate them and you, as you mirror Us.
Taste Tests
When visiting unaccustomed locales, Rhinos must pay close attention to the Vegetation. Sometimes a plant has a come-hither quality that is hard to resist. Sometimes toooo hard to resist.
And wouldn’t you just know, the RTourist ends up Unhappy.
No matter where or when, Rhinos have to listen to those little warnings that Nature provides.
Uniquity
Rhinos are a unique species among the all the species on Earth. And among all the Rhinos on Earth, now or ever, each one of Us is unique too.
But what is holding our attention today is the fact that even I, an individual Rhino, won’t be the same Rhino tomorrow, or even in an hour. Then I will recall the Rhino who is me right now, and see that We are not precisely the same. We will have much in common, this Future Me and Me right now.
But We are all changing, mostly in ways We cannot comprehend. As is everything in the World around Us. Moment by moment. Pretty impressive, when We think about it.
The Porridge Debates
It must be faced: Goldilocks misspent part of her youth in criminal activities. However, there is more to the discussion.
Goldilocks was developing a flair for Comparative Analysis, a discernment which every young critter must acquire. By careful testing, Goldilocks establishes a pecking order for herself; This is more advantageous than That. So she is both the young thug and an upcoming authority. Folks have potential in many directions.
Philosophy is both multi-faceted and confusing. Every Rhino knows that much.
Just a moment
It may be that not every moment of one’s life seems worth remembering, but each and every moment is what makes up our History. Drop one moment, and the whole business comes crashing down. That’s how Time does things, and it’s no good arguing about it.
Each Rhino’s life is a series of moments. Some are swell, others a bore, but each is essential.
Until We run out of moments.
One of a Kind
Each Rhino has a Life Story, grand or grotesque. The thing that holds the story together is a Through Line, a core theme which typifies that unique Rhino, first to last.
What’s odd is that most Rhinos have little idea of what their Through Line is. One chapter of the story seems utterly distinct from the former or next chapter. We just bop along, wondering why and how things get out of whack.
Possibly, something could be done to shake up the system, or… possibly not?
Rhinotation
Successfully fulfilling our Potential is a Demand We must confront hourly. It’s not enough to be born a Rhino; We must keep in practice through constant inspiration, dedication, and application. If We huff and puff a bit, so be it.
Fortunately, Rhinos are supple (at least mentally) so We can work these exercises into our schedules. An exemplary case of Triumph through Effort.
