Warbling, and why not?
Today is Jenny Lind’’s birthday, back in 1820. She was famously called “The Swedish Nightingale”. She was Swedish.
Vocal Fireworking is common among Rhinos. We are perpetually astounded at the range of noises and echoes and tonalities We can produce, when in the mood. We concertize spontaneously, it can’t be and needn’t be helped.
We carry flowers in case We get hungry mid-Aria.

More is better, right? Here at Your Inner Rhino, We are having a fine time finding out what Humans have to say about their activities.
Rhinos are always up for a Good Time.
Upon Consideration
All critters salute Saint Francis of Assisi, who was an early environmentalist and supporter of humanist instinct towards animals.
This is his Feast Day, officially.
We are always grateful for Kindness.

This is our first post of a series, highlighting Human quotations of interest, seems to Us.
Among the involvements available, Elections are not in the usual Rhino repertoire. Thank heaven.
Unacceptable Behavior
Richard III is a History Play, theoretically detailing his getting the crown. The play presents Richard as cunningly diabolical and also bad. Next-to-nobody survives, mostly thanks to his schemings.
(His real birthday is today, but in 1452, FYI.)
Scene One takes place in Richard’s Winter, about which he is discontented. He tells Us so. Also, there is a shortage of horses at the end of the play.
The other side…
Walls are tricky. We can’t always be sure what’s beyond them.
Unless We can smell or hear something particular from over there. Then We’d know. Probably. Or at least part of the what.
Some Walls are more impenetrable than others, and they come in a wide range of sizes, textures, and colors.
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
At the core of the Universe, each one of Us Rhinos is peeking out from our own cosmic orbit, right? We see what appears before Us, and make of it what We can, based on instinct and exposure and experience… and the weather.
If there is another way to perceive, We are unaware of it. We can apply filters, but they are ultimately selected realities, however helpful or comforting. We know We could select another version, whether We choose to or not.
But all said and done, We are in good hands.
What’s Gnu?
Think of this as a Public Service Advisory: when out in the Wild, keep your eyes peeled for Wildebeests. They travel in huge gangs, thundering around. If somebody is in charge, you could fool Us. No harm intended, they just swarm in any old direction.
Trampling is a lot less fun than it may sound.
Upshot: Look Out!
Where Wisdom comes from…
Happy birthday to Confucius, who was born in 551 BC, which was a while ago. He was a philosopher, which proves his Inner Rhino was on the job, sorting out the Mysteries of Life. He was interested in getting things organized.
We salute him, despite Rhino disinterest in regimentation and governance.
And no, as far as We know, Confucius didn’t invent chopsticks.
