Rhinos are the first to sing the praises of Baked Goods, but There is a ‘downside’. BGs constitute a Temptation to one and all, especially Knaves.
Crime is seldom pretty, but misappropriated Sweets can serve as grounds for Hostilities.
YIR issues Fair Warning.
Rhino dances don’t actually have names. They are expressive without those doodads. They simply explode in the moment, thrilling the dancer, and who else matters?
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a dance has to be worth even more… assuming anybody could assign a Value to Art.
Huzzah. The staff of ‘Your inner Rhino’ is returned from our merry pranks, feeling sassy and dynamic.
Yup. Zippity doo Dah, that’s Us!
Today, in 1883, Mr. Erich Heckel was born in Germany. He helped to found a group called ‘The Bridge’ with three friends, all interested in Expressionism. Mr. Heckel himself had a long career including painting, woodcuts, lithographs and etchings. Much of his work was politically unacceptable, and was banned and destroyed.
There is something pleasingly cutting edge about his own work, a dark mysterious quality that Rhinos gravitate to. We like primitive stuff.
Most Rhinos have remarkable Focus, like a lazer or something. Brilliant. On the down side, We don’t do well with issues of split attention.
The associated Problem is that things, other things, escape our Notice.
And there can be complex Repercussions.
YIR is not clear on how Arnulf III got the tag “Hapless”. Probably because he was unlucky. When his dad, Baldwin VI died in 1070, Arnulf became Earl of Flanders. He was acknowledged, but his uncle Robert, the Frisian, made a fuss, and Arnulf died in battle, in 1071.
It seems unkind to saddle the memory of a 16 year old youth with the sorry “title” Hapless, but History is not always kind.
Not only can History be unkind, but it’s often inaccurate. Rhinos know these things.
Today YIR wanted to direct your attention to the Gothic novels of Mrs. Ann Ward Radcliffe (b.1764). In her day, she was wildly popular in Britain, her heroines suffering non-stop in tempestuous situations, facing manipulative villainy at every turn.
The drama of these stories is dynamic, and Rhinos like the churning agitation and fast pace of her tales, such as ‘The Mysteries of Udolpho’ (1794) and ‘The Italian'(1797.)
Again, these stories were widely read, and their influence on consequent literature, drama, and film is self evident.
Lemons are very nice, but Rhinos find they make our lips wrinkly.
Ah, the rough with the smooth.
Rhinos have not made many inroads in the field of Astro-Numerology. We are hampered by our inability to count beyond 3, which puts a damper on it all.
What We like is all the starry trappings that go with Astro-Numerology, at least as Rhinos imagine it. Much whooshing and ba-booming, and twinkles and starbursts.
Ultimately, the idea of decrypting the Future is not Very Rhino. We have all We can manage in the Present.
Rhinos are not a suspicious crowd, usually. We do not seek distress or random misgivings.
But We do enjoy sneaking around, looking like We have secret data at our disposal, available if We can come to terms.
We also like the drawings of Edward Gorey. What greater praise is there than emulation?
