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).

I spurt forth apologies.

I have missed yet another Polaroid Tuesday. I am utterly sorry. My heart quakes at my ineptitude. I have been busy (sporadically, mixed with a depressed mood and general lack of motivation). My photography class is winding down and I have been busy trying to cram all of the things I can cram into my ever quickening loss of darkroom privledges. It makes me incredibly unhappy to think soon enough I will not have the darkroom at my beck and call. I want a darkroom more than I want a rabbit (gasp).
It is late. It is late and my body is so sleepy it is restless. I want to sleep but I just toss and turn. I think of all things at once. I think too much. Oh do I ever think to much.
I got a new book yesterday. It is Candy: A Novel of Love and Addiction by Luke Davies. Josh and I had watched the movie, based from the book, a week or so ago and I got online and found it on Amazon.com and drooled over it. Yesterday when I got home from the darkroom it was on the coffee table. Josh bought it for me. Beautiful.
As I was working in the darkroom yesterday one of my film rolls slipped off the reel while I was processing it and was ruined. All those bits of time, captured, gone. Today I have to go to sleep soon, so I can get up soon and take more pictures. Yesterday my little dog went with me to capture images. I tried to get her to model for me but she is uncooperative. She does what she wants. We ate Burger King in the sunshine and dandelions.
