Feeling Gloomy

5-20Funk

There is a musical style called Funk, which We are not discussing today.

We are talking about the rare situation when a Rhino goes into a slump. The phrase We like is “in a funk”. Coping with depression. These conditions usually dissipate naturally, but they are plenty unpleasant while they last. The Rhino feels like a slave to moodiness.

Another use of the word “Funk” refers to a foul odor- to which We are sensitized. When one of Us is “in a funk”, Rhinos of all ages know because of the malodorous nature of the environs. We give that Rhino plenty of room to recalibrate.

Please Note: Not the ideal time for the cheery hello or tickling.

5-17 MMOB

Rhinos are sometimes thought of as aloof, but that is an inaccurate assessment. We are preoccupied with Quest Issues, and ponderings on Cosmic and domestic Questions. A lot to consider, like what is for lunch.

“Minding My Own Business” is the message each of Us sends. That is how Rhinos handle matters in general. Not antisocial, just absorbed.

5-16 Vibes

Rhinos have a wealth of Systemic Contributors. They are all dashing around inside, adding a dash of paprika to each thought and transaction. At least, that’s what We have always assumed was going on in there.

Nobody has actually seen a Vibe, probably because they are mega-quick. Maybe like Electricity, which We have not seen either. We see the results, but not the juice itself. Who has seen a flavor? Right.

Goes a long way in explaining our Rhino Demeanor, ask anybody.

5-15 a la Klimpt

From time to time, We just want to mentally brush up our image, so We indulge ourselves. Klimpt’s paintings, for instance, are spectacular. We imagine ourselves clad in that much glamor, and bask in our own glow for a good four minutes. But, ah, the associated thrill is transitory.

Our minds soon wander to other things, most of them edible.

Ma'sDay

Until sufficient bulk is attained, Rhino Tots are vulnerable to predation. What stands between each Young Rhino and disaster is Mother. The Gold Standard is, and has been, and doubtless will be, Mom.

For Rhinos, single parenthood is the only system We know.

Each of Us is only here because Mom guaranteed our well-being through those crucial years, so every day is Mother’s Day.
