RhinoLore is all part of a giant familial tapestry of Tales We merrily share. Each of Us offers our experiences, and then delights in seeing how they reflect RhinoExperiences through the Ages.
Rhinos naturally think in a story format, involving plot, characters, heroes (!), situation, etc. Fortunately, We are an exciting Species, so our Annals are almost always stimulating.
Not every Account is cheery, but then, these are History, not Fiction. Nature is not primarily focused on “Cheery”.
Each individual Rhino is best tuned to our Inner Rhino, in subtle, unique ways. Thus each of Us is aware of our Victories over Dubious Choices, those moments when We approach our potential for Excellence.
So who is better at acknowledging these Triumphs than We ourselves? Right. Nobody.
Rhinos are not double-jointed, which makes Pats on the Back tricky. But We each do what We can, when appropriate; it’s the spirit of the thing that counts.
On our most Philosophical Days, We Rhinos can see disappointed expectations as a Growing Opportunity.
All the rest of the time, We tend to think of unexpected difficulties as a Pain in the Neck.
Rhinos are only Pretty Perfect, We blush to admit.
Rhinos find that when We are feeling Upbeat, everything seems to contribute to the overall Upbeatiness. It seems to be how things work.
We enjoy these periods while they last, and look forward to their return when they take a break.
We like to keep our options simple.
Today YIR wants to mention “Hangul”, a Korean writing system created by King Sejong the Great, in 1443. He introduced it to his people in 1447. It was noteworthy for the ease of learning it. Prior to that, there were complex systems, which made it hard for any but the most educated to write anything, or read it either.
Today Sejong the Great is thought of warmly in Korea, where Hangul is still spoken, 570 years later.
Rhinos recall him as a Good Guy. (The writing, in Hangul, says, “Hangul”, we believe…)
We Rhinos depend on Intuition to a great extent. Oh, We may bring in Knowledge, Rational Support, or Interpretation later, to prove We knew what We were doing, but who is fooled? No Rhino, that’s certain.
Where is Intuition stored? Does it just lurk over our shoulder, or reside in one of our Ankles, for ready reference? The issue is Unsettled.
What matters more is how Grateful We are for this Natural System of Meaningful Notification.
Rhino Cures all have one thing in common, namely, the Patient has to want to get better.
It seems obvious, but sometimes the Patient loses Patience or Hope, which doesn’t help anything.
In the Wild, there are no Doctors, so Self-Reliance takes on a new dimension.
Today is National Argyle Day.
Argyll is an area in western Scotland, in case it slipped your mind. We are reliably informed that the knitting pattern for Argyle comes from there, widely used in sporty apparel.
Rhinos like to think of ourselves, decked out in stylish knits, wandering around, collecting compliments. So far, We have not succeeded along those lines, but you never know…
On Reader Request, We wanted to give you a good idea of what the assembled staff would look like, if they were all available at the same time. Which they are not. It has many of the qualities of a Love In, or possibly, a Rugby Scrum. A great many opinions, expressed with Vigor.
‘Your Inner Rhino’ central office juggles Input from all quarters of the World, for our Readership’s illumination, in an effort to help you discover and rejoice in Your Inner Rhino.
Contributory Thoughts are always Welcome.
Depression is no laughing matter, as any Rhino would tell you. Left to fester, it can be debilitating indeed.
For Us, the problem indicates some lack of clarity about one’s Inner Resources, which are Infinite. Somehow, no matter how, the focus has shifted to judgments and analysis, which can only damage the sensitive core.
Rhinos try to shift their attention to the Inner Rhino, the Natural Center, to help reconfigure perspective. Help is available, but We do have to ask and pay attention.
It also helps to discuss matters, to get a realistic idea of what Happiness looks like. Often expectations are out of proportion. One hint: Happiness does not look like a shampoo commercial.
