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).

Waking and Resting

Our days our so full of learning. Subtly, quietly deep lessons are spun tightly around us. He learns-- I have feet, I have a voice, I have a mama, I have a daddy. I learn-- there is always time for dance, we can sing through out days, resting is most important, snuggling the best cure for nearly anything that ails us.

We had a mighty big day: seeing friends, dancing, discovering a scarf, carrying light into darkness. Now is time for the rest, putting all those bits away in our minds, letting out bodies rebuild themselves. I am thankful for this cycle. I am learning so much about being awake and resting.
