No matter how good the information may seem, it’s best to be equipped when Hunting Treasure.
The shovel is our friend. Doubtless that is why they call it Buried Treasure.

Clarification
Your Inner Rhino feels the need to make something abundantly clear: This is not an ‘Answer Blog’. Here We ponder and wonder and blunder, but We know nothing for certain. What’s more, We’re proud of it.
Confusion, the mental state in which all critters stumble onward, does not need to worry anybody. Confusion does raise Questions, which are always valuable, however meaningless the answers are in the final analysis.
It’s the attention to what’s happening in our heads that matters. Thinking.
Soloists
Each of Us is an Individual, which has a lot to recommend it. We share ourselves where that seems welcome. But ultimately, We each have lots more inside than We can ever share.
So our Individuality has a tinge of reservation, a knowledge that We will never be fully known.
Chipping away
Artists express themselves in so many ways; with paint, or stone or music or a basketball- an endless series of opportunities to translate their unique poetry into motion. Some forms last, others do not.
Ultimately, the expression echoes some particular aspect of its source.
We Rhinos take it upon ourselves to investigate and respond to artists’ efforts to engage the planet.
Somebody has to do it.
Know What?
One relief that Seniority offers is the understanding that We Rhinos will never know it all. We have passed the point when willfulness passes for knowledge.
Then We take things as they come, offering suggestions if asked, but realizing that We could just as easily be wrong as right.
Makes Us feel younger every day.
Parameters
Like it or not, all critters have Limitations. There are boundaries to Rhino capacities, assigned by Nature. We cannot fly, nor can We fit into a pumpkin shell. Nor climb trees successfully. Etc., etc.
What We can do is fill our Rhino turf with all the Excellence We can muster, leaving no smidge unappreciated. Without going beyond ourselves, We can investigate and extoll. Also, from inside our Rhino precincts, We can marvel at what other critters can do, and do do.
Rhinos can’t have it All. What a relief.
Hooray.
So much shopping, so little time
When it’s time to make a Mistake, We Rhinos are always astonished at the range of choices there is. And We don’t have to settle on just one at a time.
The selection seems infinite, but perhaps it isn’t.
We’ll probably never know.
The Changing of the Guard
Lots of cycles in the Wild, and this seems as good a day as any to salute the Then, the Now, and the To Be.
Your Inner Rhino wishes you our Very Best, today, and on all other days. Happy New Year.
Beyond a doubt…
Gift horses have a checkered reputation for delivering unwelcome surprises. This phenomenon dovetails well with the natural Rhino inclination to ponder things that appear too good to be true. We have seldom regretted serious evaluation prior to involvement.
The loss of the opportunity is not the issue, so much as the repercussions of the move in haste.
If We be stodgy, so be it.
and Bushy Tailed!
Adolescence is a great time for the young, and an extraordinary time for their moms. Big Adventures with Vast Horizons! Going where no Rhino has gone before, or not recently at any rate.
The Good Thing is that most of Us, young and older, survive the excitement, as can be deduced from the fact that We are here to discuss the matter. Just part of the Merriment of being a Rhinoceros!
No joke, it’s a privilege.
