My Womanifesto

Bliss Ripple is a catalog of clues— fieldnotes for living into one’s internal bliss. Compiled through the creative works of poet, artist, musician, and mama Maggie A. Bishop, Bliss Ripple explores the idea of resounding joy— how to create it and expand it through living with passionate honesty.

Here you will find poems, songs, and observations written under the influence of inspiration Maggie finds scuttling and searching amidst the varied Missouri landscape with her wonder-son, adventurer Arlo, and her artist-partner and dream confidant Josh (who is also a photographer and music promoter).

Explaination:

i have my dad's feet
small flat skinney long
i remember this,
stoned, drunk, watching them
stomp along to the music.
my roots that ground me
long hard fast secure
to the past that will make
my future all the brighter.
my small tan hands, artificially
sprayed there for a day
that means forever.
these hands hold a day
more complete than the previous.
each becoming perfect in
our fumbling way of love.
we are seeking sincerely,
ourselves, the most.
