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).

Family time.

My little brother is over. He's in college now.
He is home on Thank's giving break.
He sits in our chair, with our dog on his lap.
I fix him food. We talk and argue.
In a disagreeing way.
Nothin' hostile.
He's more bleak.
A cynic I say.
He says, "Yeah."
I learn from him.
And I hope he I.
Maybe.
My little brother is over.
Home on Thanksgiving break from college.
He sits in our chair, with a beer in his hand.
I carry him with me. In my heart,
through our days.
Only love.
He's more bleak.
"Yeah," I think.
Black and white.
Together we are complete.

Maggie Ann,


I love your style. Might I post something of yours on Beauty...on the weblog?

Do you have a favorite?
