Description
Love is a recognition of wonder; friendship, too, is a recognition of wonder. At the still center of our connections is a glimmer of the realization that we are all one seamless body. “You are beautiful,” I say to the rhinoceros, who dances and says, “Do tell me more!”
Summary
Great cranes dance in elegant rows, rhinos give each other the come-hither eye, in my garden I have a dahlia called “Marry Me!” Love is a recognition of wonder; friendship, too, is a recognition of wonder.
At the still center of our connections is a glimmer of the realization that we are all one seamless body. “You are beautiful,” I say to the rhinoceros, who dances and says, “Do tell me more!”—what the rhinoceros thinks of people and what the rhinoceros relies on in a world of change.
