Every now and then, one of Us Rhinos will unexpectedly feel that We’re being judged or criticized or disliked. No solid Evidence, just a Lurking Suspicion.
Naturally, one option is that some Critter does have an Issue, which We can hopefully address.
What is more troubling is that often We know that the problem is in our own head. Makes Us moody.
Rhinos celebrate the birthday of Ms. Judith Martin, better known as Miss Manners. She’s a modern writer, doing what she can to instill Civility, Kindness and Consideration in her readers. Needless to say, hers is a Daunting Task.
Issues of Social Grace have always mesmerized Us Rhinos. Miss Manners gives advice laced with wit and insight and does not suffer fools gladly.
Our kind of gal. If ‘Your Inner Rhino‘ gave awards, she’d get one, no question.
‘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.
Depending on the Electronic Device you Readers use for seeing ‘Your Inner Rhino‘, the pictures may be a bit squunched up or teeny-weeny.
We recommend clicking on the image itself, just to make the pictures bigger, and more Informative.
A little Reminder.
Misplacing Accessories is similar, in some ways, to forgetting just what it is a Rhino has recently had in mind. Where did that idea get off to? What will be involved in retrieving it, or is it gone for good?
Don’t ask Us. We have no clue.
When encountering wet weather, Rhinos find it expeditious to check the depth of Puddles before proceeding.
‘Your Inner Rhino’, looking out for its Readership.
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.
Even at ‘Your Inner Rhino‘, how Tomorrow is going to go is anybody’s guess.
Too many variables.
Plus, Rhinos like surprises, and Tomorrow usually supplies them in abundance.
YIR thought it might be a good time to discuss Erosion. Commonly Erosion refers to weathering from water or wind, wearing away the landscape over time.
What We Rhinos think is more controllable is the Erosion caused by Observations, Suggestions, Criticisms, and Wit. What is worn away in this instance is Patience and Self-Esteem.
Rhinos are Bulky, and proud of it; it’s no mean accomplishment in the Wild. We weigh, We Rhinos.
But Bulk comes with responsibilities, one of which involves sitting down. Prior to sitting, We try to remember to give warning, so smaller critters are not damaged.
Fair’s fair.
