Question: Would a Rhino rather fall from the lower building, landing on a hedgehog OR fall from the taller, landing on a pillow?
Answer: Neither, thank you.
Rhinos are heavy, so falls can be oh-so-serious. Impact Issues. That’s why Rhinos don’t generally venture above the first floor.
Topical Fashion, yet another Your Inner Rhino area of interest. If it weren’t so stimulating, it would be exhausting.
Either way, We Rhinos are on our toes and on the alert.
Anne Bonny may or may not have been born this day in about 1702, give or take. She had a rather murky career, but the big feature was her time as a Pirate, plying the Caribbean.
Your Inner Rhino mentions her, not because We approve of Plundering, but because Ms. Bonny was enterprising. Get-up-and-go deserves mention.
FYI, nobody is sure what became of her after they decided to hang her. Enterprising… and Slippery.
Chaos and Catastrophe are not synonymous, though the former can certainly make a Rhino anticipate the latter. We feel unsettled, to say the least.
However, because the outcome is not really Known, the upshot could turn out to be all right, which comes as a disappointment, given all the Dread already expended.
We are still jittery, and that’s a fact.
George Orwell’s 1945 book, Animal Farm, is a chilling tale of animals that take over a farm, led by the pigs. In time, the cooperative slogans that united the animals, shift to favor the pigs. Ultimately the worker animals are as badly abused as when the farm was run by humans.
The powerful work to maintain their power. No news there, then or now.
However fashionable Tantrums and Displays of Temper may currently be, Your Inner Rhino feels compelled to remind its Readers of an Olde Rhino Truism: If you behave too oddly, your head will pop off. Which you are likely to regret.
Rhinos may be impatient when confronted with irregularity, but We do not act up. Honestly.
Synergy is the result of combined efforts of two or more somethings, among which Rhinos count, big time. (We think of ourselves as ‘Something Else”.) The idea is that by allying ourselves with other living things, We each get a boost. Win/Win.
We suspect that rocks may also make their own contribution to the general dynamic. There they are, making a statement, right?
It’s nice to know Rhinos have back-up, whichever way We turn, but not for free. We have to pay attention.
Today Your Inner Rhino is focusing on Context- where We are and what’s going on there and are We paying attention?
No Rhino is free of place and time, except mentally. We are each part of a bigger something, and that in turn is part of even bigger somethings, and so on.
We thought it was high time to credit, not ourselves, but the Everything Else.
Some days require a little more Paprika in the recipe, to perk things up. Right?
Confusion reigns while the Seasons are making up their minds, neither one thing or another. A daily crapshoot for Us on the receiving end, without dice.
Rhinos chalk up Weather as a part of Life’s Great Adventure. We can’t think of what else to do with it.
