Even when a day has a shortcoming or two, We Rhinos like to focus our attention on our inherent Rhinotude. If that doesn’t make Us kick up our heels, well, We just don’t know…!?!
The ‘elephant in the room’ is always our Rhino Core. If We have that, We’re always good to go.
Here at Your Inner Rhino We sometimes get pretty buzzed up. Be patient; think of it as a character-building exercise, not that our Readers need a whole lot of that.
More Politix are in the oven…
US President Calvin Coolidge retired from office in 1929. He was spoken of as “Silent Cal”, being a man of few words, or fewer. He was from Vermont.
His is an approach which might recommend itself to many modern political aspirants.
“Least said, soonest mended”, and all that.
Mr. Poe was not the cheeriest author and poet, but he had much to recommend him, just the same. A sadly familiar point of view, his.
Difficult times command strange bedfellows.
Rhino days are packed with involvements, both mental and physical. We are a very busy species. From all this activity, We gain a happy sense of success, one way and another. And why not?! We find our days rewarding.
Also but no less so, We note: the Breeze is our Friend.
How is it that when Rhinos go new places, there are things We know We have seen before? Huh?
Maybe our minds are taking trips when We aren’t paying attention. That would explain it, and our minds would have plenty of opportunity for those jaunts, right?
That’d be “Yes”.
At the core of the Universe, each one of Us Rhinos is peeking out from our own cosmic orbit, right? We see what appears before Us, and make of it what We can, based on instinct and exposure and experience… and the weather.
If there is another way to perceive, We are unaware of it. We can apply filters, but they are ultimately selected realities, however helpful or comforting. We know We could select another version, whether We choose to or not.
But all said and done, We are in good hands.
Arthur Rackham was born today in 1867. He was renowned for his children’s illustrations in an age of great artists. Soft color glazes and robust line make his work exceptional. And yummy.
Mr. Rackham gave lovely humor and vigor to Fairyland, making it feel familiar. Interest in fairies has to be nurtured, and Mr. Rackham’s efforts did all of that and more.
Rhinos are always surprised that Beliefs come and go, like Fashions. Belief in fairies makes Rhino lives richer, whether We have met any or not.
Grandma Moses (born 9/7, 1860) didn’t start painting until she was 78 years old. Her career wasn’t short though; she lived to be 101. Lots of famous output.
Rhinos seldom get sidetracked along the way. That is because We chew a lot, so We can ponder creative outlets all the time, at the same time.
Rhinos don’t usually live to age 101, We think, so We cram a lot into the time We do get.
Queen Elizabeth I was born in 1533. She was popular, but prickly. She liked things her way, without sass of any kind. A Queen clearly in touch with her Inner Rhino.
We Rhinos are wired pretty much the same way, right?
Bess (as she was called by her best pals) also liked to gad about in plenty of finery. Rhinos do that too, albeit on a theoretical level.
