Yesterday is a part of the Rhino Process; it got Us to Today. It’s nice if We learned something Yesterday, but sometimes learning nothing has its merits. What exactly We picked up Yesterday may be an element in a bigger picture, the coin that eventually drops. Possibly. Doubtless. TBA.

Who can say? Tomorrow may turn out not to be our issue at All.

Tomorrows do that sometimes.

It interests Us Rhinos how many situations seem to demand Drama. The question is, is the Drama needed, or is it just a way to a Cheap Thrill?

Honestly, how often are things at a critical point?

Are We simply grand-standing ourselves?

In our millions of years of Experience, Rhinos have concluded that all lands are Lands of Opportunity. Some appear more promising than others, it’s true. Some places seem more user-friendly than others.

Fortunately for our Species, Rhinos like a challenge. It may account for our ongoing happy dealings with Nature. And in some unlikely locations, We must say. We eat what is dished out.

We also keep our eyes peeled for options.

Our young gadabouts set off for home after plundering the Witch’s house of jewels and probably a few cupcakes for the road. For these two it is a Happy Ending; for the Witch, not so much. There is a lot to mull over in the resolution of this tale. Hansel & Gretel is just like War and Peace, only different.

An ongoing issue is Hansel’s weight gain. One of Us here at YIR is trying to be more “nutritionally disciplined”, so Hansel has our sympathies. A literary kindred spirit.

Hansel and Gretel face heavy odds. Unfortunately, the Witch is more powerful than they, and grasps their points of weakness.

Ah, Generational Strife. We Rhinos understand this opposition; young Rhinos need to keep on the good side of bigger Rhinos. Older Rhinos discourage flippancy among the young, sometimes with cataclysmic results.

We must face it: Hansel and Gretel is packed with tension and psychological complexity; it’s exhausting. Only Your Inner Rhino would undertake a study so demanding.
