Go Go Pablo

10-26-picassoflt

Pablo Picasso was born yesterday in 1881. ‘Your Inner Rhino’ missed the boat, but not for want of trying. It turns out that his artistic work is tougher to fake than We had supposed, so there was a holdup. We thank you all for your patience, and hope not to trespass upon it again, soon. Your patience, that is.

The question arose while working on this little tribute of what anybody would think they look like if mirrors did not exist? If We Rhinos only saw our reflection in water, would We assume other critters were in there, visiting Us?

Something to Pond-er.

Feeling Good

Exactly two years ago ‘Your Inner Rhino.com’ had it first posting. Since that time We have posted 713 posts, in those 731 days (Leap Year).

Boasting is not our style, but We do feel smuggish, in a humble and (hopefully) endearing way.

Thanks to all of you who have made this project so fulfilling.

The Importance of Being Wilde

Today was Oscar Wilde’s birthday, in 1854. A remarkable wit and commentator, Mr. Wilde’s target was the limited thinking that led to British complacency, a sense of privilege and superiority that he felt could use some serious re-examination, on every level.

He was Stylish and demanding. Many of his contemporaries found him distinctly unsettling. Today many people find his work confusing, given the byplay of ideas, one against another.

He is often quoted, but Rhinos like this: “True friends stab you in the front.”

Warbling, and why not?

Today is Jenny Lind’’s birthday, back in 1820. She was famously called “The Swedish Nightingale”. She was Swedish.

Vocal Fireworking is common among Rhinos. We are perpetually astounded at the range of noises and echoes and tonalities We can produce, when in the mood. We concertize spontaneously, it can’t be and needn’t be helped.

We carry flowers in case We get hungry mid-Aria.
