Of having a dog.... of her dog, Chima Ikoro says: "Great. Not only is she alive, she has chosen living today. She has chosen herself... and in turn she has chosen me too." For those of us who love dogs, who have had dogs in our lives, or have dogs now... this video poem is a wonderful tribute to dogs and their place in our lives.
What an amazing piece by Chima, especially embodying it on YouTube. Her embodiment, including delivering the poem while telling the poem, like telling her story, moved me to see the value of dogs I already know from the dog friends I have. I call it dog medicine, a cure for whatever ails.
I love Chima’s instagram party piece. What a powerful message.
And Christine, your commentary about building community simply through invitation is an insightful, inspiring reflection. I feel more connected and hopeful about expanding community by challenging myself to extend an invitation today. Thank you and thank you, Chima and her beautiful medicine dog!

some caring humans.
