Fame, Fame!

Today is the day when We celebrate Mr. William Shakespeare’s birth, back in 1564. If it wasn’t today, it was close to it. Maybe there was other stuff going on, or his mother just wasn’t up to finding a registrar. Sometimes, close is close enough.

Mr. Shakespeare had an intriguing life; whole chunks of his timeline are missing, and after all this time, it’s unlikely We will ever fill in the blanks. He became the most famous playwright to ever live anywhere, so his time off must have been good to him, one way and another.

Maybe he spent his time as an apprentice, learning Penmanship. Who can say?

Rhinos are used to hearing of folks going Insane, meaning they are not behaving as they used to. But what is clearly going on is a rearrangement of ideas and priorities, a recalibration of Internal Processes.

So it is completely possible that We are going Sane. That question is all about Definitions and Expectations. For all any of Us Rhinos know, the Rhino in question, clearly agitated, is just getting rid of extraneous Mental Luggage.

Afterward, everyone may feel Better, for all We can predict.

Patience

Rhinos are glad that circumstances seldom demand Patience from Us. We are more the go-for-it-with-gusto sort of critter. Go and go some more.

But there are times when Rhinos must bide our time, hold on until things sort themselves out. Rhinos do the right thing.

Well, that’s what being Responsible Critters requires of Us.

RhinoReminder: what We see is a result of where We are when We make an Observation. If We are on this side of the shrub, it is different than from the other. Naturally.

So We can seldom be certain We have all the facts. Actually, We can bet We don’t have all the facts.

So Rhinos can observe from all sorts of angles, but We might postpone coming to a Conclusion. For Everyone’s sake.

We Rhinos have remarkable Hearing, almost as refined as our sense of Smell. We are always tuned in to both skills, as life in the Wild demands Vigilance.

But that set of abilities has limits; to date, We cannot hear either Yesterday or Tomorrow, no matter how scientific or  elaborate our systems may be.

Probably right Now is what Rhinos should attend to. Yesterday is gone, and Tomorrow is anybody’s guess.

Oh My

Rhinos cannot recall a time when “Uh-Oh” wasn’t useful in the face of adversity. Things happen. And there has to be some outlet for the tensions that arise for one and all.

“Uh-Oh” fills the bill, often.

Rhinos use it all the time, possibly because Rhinos are not perfect, despite appearances.
