Thanks, Dear Readers- from Your Inner Rhino!
Much Obliged
Rhinos are dedicated to the concept of Friendship, of Appreciation and Respect and Encouragement shared with Us and other Critters as well. Near and far. Today and Tomorrow.
Makes Us feel good and makes them feel good. So much to be grateful for.
Naturally.
The Main Ingredient
Need We say more?
Memories
Rhino Recall is a pretty random system. We remember this or that from Yesterday, and a Something or Two from the day before perhaps, but that’s about it. Today is generally demanding enough.
So, a week from now, We will have misplaced Today. In a week, how much difference will Today make? Mostly, not much.
Sort of comforting, yes?
Endurance Tests
There are occasions when a Rhino hears something so Stupid, or ill-Informed, or needlessly Unkind, that all one can do is Squint. Rational discussion would be wasted.
There seems to be a clear invitation to Argue, but the real Cosmic Test is to keep quiet and breath deep.
Rhinos are grateful for highly developed Squint Muscles. We need them.
Dishing it out
Rhinos like to remind our Friends that no Recipe, either culinary or social, is delightful for every palate.
Formulas have their limits.
In Particular
“Some limbs and a horn or two do not a Rhinoceros make.”
No two Rhinos are truly the same, however similar We may look. We have things that make Us recognizable, but ultimately We are utterly distinct. Each of Us is made Unique by the combination of Essence, Training, Experience, and Time. Same-ish perhaps, but no two the same.
It probably matters who is reviewing matters. And why.
Words to the Wise
Rhino-ness has some challenges, We have to admit. Not the least of those is how Insightful and Experienced We are, not only individually, but as a species. That’s how it seems to Us, certainly. One way or another, Rhinos just seem to always have the Answer.
Our Problem is that for some reason We can seldom find anybody who wants to ask the Questions.
Subtleties Aside…
Despite our calm Exteriors, We are not always in command of ourselves.
Naturally enough.
Soup’s On
All Critters need to eat; that’s just a fact. Some eat plants, some eat other Critters, keeping things shipshape.
Nature’s system is elaborate, inconceivably so… still, Rhinos eat what We are assigned, and in turn, We will be eaten. It’s a cycle.
And all Critters die and nourish the earth that grows the plants. Mighty slick arrangement, if you ask Us. Everybody wins.
