Although Rhinos have a raucous side to our character, We are mostly extraordinarily Quiet. And with good reason.
In the Wild, there is a lot more to Hear, all told. And the Potential Importance of these Hearings cannot be overestimated.
The information We gather can make the difference between a great afternoon and no afternoon.
In the face of any Experience, each Rhino has options for reactions. The meaning of the word Response-Ability. What shall We make of things?
Whatever We choose to think, Rhinos need to recall that our thoughts are under our control. We Choose our focus, and our interpretation.
So obvious, and yet so easy to forget.
When it comes to Rhinos being Rhinos, One thing We never leave out of the recipe is Sass.
Sass has some negative connotations, We admit. A little too much spin on the ball perhaps. A sense of immunity to Social Conventions. A little goes a long way.
Like it or not, We Rhinos got it, and make the most of it. Stand back.
A Reminder that you Readers, at this precise moment, as you read this, are older than you have ever been. It’s hard to come up with any news that’s better, right?
Rhinos do a lot of celebrating in general, but when in doubt, We tingle with the merriment that goes with Today, Now, Us, Here.
Try it, you’ll like it.
As Your Inner Rhino has mentioned before, Rhinos’ primary perception system is Scent. For many critters, sight takes the lead, but not for Us. We get our most Dynamic Information by Nose.
Unfortunately for YIR, this fact does not translate via electronic means. So We provide a sort of image of how it seems to Us.
We are the first to acknowledge the shortcomings of the attempt, but We feel We should get credit for the Effort. Yes, We do.
Most Rhinos, when dealing with physical hardships, experience a decreased Merriment Quotient. Grumpiness comes easily, and frequently, oftentimes.
In most instances, Time comes to our aid, if not as quickly as We’d like.
In the Wild it’s that way. Even not in the Wild, it’s that way. We growl.
Today YIR recognizes Sheridan Le Fanu, b. 1814 in Ireland. He is best remembered for his impact on horror tales, developing mood and a sense of dread in his readers. Many of his techniques are still common in suspense literature.
Rhinos are not drawn to Horror. We have enough daily Agitation without choosing to invest in Possible Disasters.
Gothic, Schmothic.
Yes, jolly Readers, ‘Your Inner Rhino‘ has resurfaced.
The Staff is gathering our wits, and the YIR Machine is on the brink.
Oh ho.
Off for a little Rest and Relaxation, returning Monday.
Be well. YIR.
We Rhinos live in many Interesting places, and a few less Interesting places. We adjust, We assimilate, We endure. We move.
One thing that keeps coming up, and for which We have no worthy answer is: Where is North? Readers seem to take this question seriously.
We might too, if We understood the point of knowing.
