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).

the phenomenon:

 

  • of laying down to bed completely in the mood for sleep and rest, and moments after my head hits the pillow my mind picks up again and races through its catalog.
  • of sitting down to write and typing a thousands thoughts away from what is in my heart to write.
  • of finding mere moments of peace and wanting so badly to bottle them for keeps.
  • of beginning to open up and then, feeling the prick of vulnerability, closing each fragile petal one, by one, by one.
  • of it being so hard to tell my story.
