A Day Later

August 22, 2025

Featured image: Sun, Tree, Water Even a day later, I can feel the rhythm of the water running through my body, making it one with the water, the earth, and the sky. Moving with all that is—this is the "isness" that I always talk about. A day later, reflecting on the wonderful experiences we had, I look at my hands and see, I still have the earth of the Northwest Territories under my nails. This earth, this tiny bit of earth and its totalness, represents the silence as the day ended far off on the horizon; the songs the wind and the trees sang; and the waves as they came crashing on the shore. The song of the line of forever, drawn between the water and the sky. The song of wholeness. The song of yes, yes, yes that I always talk about. The song of life, of connectedness, of naturalness, of possibilities—and the song of just being alive.

Just Back from Canada

August 20, 2025

I’ve just returned from an incredible trip to the Northwest Territories in Canada, and my heart is full. One of the highlights? Catching a massive 37-pound lake trout —all by myself! (Though in the photo it looks like Brad is helping me, I only asked him to hold it so we could safely release it. The lake is catch-and-release, and I didn’t want to risk harming such a beautiful fish.) It was a thrilling fight—the trout was deep, and it took a long time to bring it in on a jig. The moment I finally landed it, I was elated! Beyond that, we also caught grayling and pike, making it a full and unforgettable fishing adventure. Ten days of wild beauty, big fish, and endless wonder. Truly, my heart is filled.

Christine Alfery: My recent work delves into the concepts from the earth created into spirits and songs of past, present, and possible future and the stories of these spirits and songs throughout history. My current work blurs the lines of Earth's spiritual histories between different cultures. My work fuses old with new and the hopeful future. My work mixes soul versus machine with the earth. I find spiritual inspiration in my art and its connection to the spirits and songs of the earth and all things that are the yes, yes, yeses in the world. I believe in hope. My hope for those who view my work is that viewers will let the beautiful spirits from the earth and the wonderful yes, yes, yeses that surround them touch their souls this day and always.
