‘Proprioception’ is the Awareness of Where our body parts are at any given moment, how they got there, and our Location on the Balance Beam of Life.
Rhinos do not spend a lot of conscious effort on our Proprioception. We are too busy pondering other Cosmic Issues.
But it’s a handy word to toss around; it impresses our Public.
Each Rhino spends the day Eating and Pondering. Rhinos are gifted multi-taskers, and produce a wealth of thoughts as We browse. Impressions stream forth, holding our attention for various lengths of time.
Some of our thoughts are complex, many are trivial. Likewise, some are old and familiar, others are unexpected and stimulating. Each gets due consideration.
We enjoy this Contemplative Rigmarole. Are Rhinos alone in this Cavalcade of Awarenesses? Probably not.
As Your Inner Rhino has mentioned before, Rhinos’ primary perception system is Scent. For many critters, sight takes the lead, but not for Us. We get our most Dynamic Information by Nose.
Unfortunately for YIR, this fact does not translate via electronic means. So We provide a sort of image of how it seems to Us.
We are the first to acknowledge the shortcomings of the attempt, but We feel We should get credit for the Effort. Yes, We do.
The Your Inner Rhino staff is taking a break, scheduled to reassemble itself on August 13th.
Many Fond Thoughts & all Best Wishes, as Always
Semper Rhino!
Nature presents Us with Challenges of varied weight, color and texture. Rhinos are constantly monitoring ourselves.
Frankly, It takes some pretty dynamic Analytic Application to pinpoint Areas for Improvement. There is a price to pay for Rhino Excellence, let’s face it.
Sometimes, We are stumped.
Today is the National Day of the Cowboy.
Rhinos appreciate the music and the Buckeroo Attitude. And long-distance Spittin’.
Since We don’t ride horses, We have to pretend to be Bow-legged, iffn We wanna blend in.
A frustration for Rhinos is that We are not top-notch communicators. This applies not only among Us Rhinos, but also with all sorts of other Beings, across the board.
We feel sure that We are all trying like mad to make ourselves understood, to share ourselves as best We may. But We achieve strictly limited results.
Contrariwise, maybe They understand Us just fine. Perhaps Rhino Receivers just aren’t what they might be when They return the favor.
No, Rhinos can’t tell time, given our counting shortcomings. But one thing We do know is that All the Todays are Essential. No matter what We label the day, We can’t misplace one.
Every day may not be memorable, but Rhinos can be sure We were there for it on some level. If We had missed one entirely, We would have Moved On.
That’s how Nature works it.
Rhinos are fortunate, both in Diet and Disposition. Mostly, if it’s green, We can eat it. We might prefer something else, but preferences are not deciding forces in the Wild.
On the Disposition side of the argument, Rhinos assume We are meant to Thrive, whatever our present location. Why would We be somewhere else?
Nature is our Friend.
Herr Gustav Klimpt was a Viennese artist, born in 1862. His works are Splendid, if one wants to understate his Achievements and Individuality.
Also, since it is July 14, We wanted to salute the French, for whom this is a momentous occasion. Via the ‘Archive’ section, see July 15 (don’t ask), 2017, for a refresher.
