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).

Thanks Giving

I woke this morning just blown away with gratitude for this awe-some life that has been gifted to me. I was sandwiched in love, on one side my gorgeous husband and the other my unbelievably perfect and beautiful squirmy son. I thought about our life now and I can hardly fathom the miracle that it is. Our little family is more than I could have every dreamed. The love and acceptance that me and Josh's relationship is firmly grounded in is the most healthful interpersonal relationship I have ever been in. Josh's own personal acceptace of his ever evolving humanity has taught me so much about how fluid we are as individuals, how its natural to grow and change. His unconditional love of me and my growth as a woman has taught me so much about loving myself.

And now, our son! We still look at each other in awe and exclaim how incredible it is that we could have created something so pure and true though our bodies, through an expression of our love. I never knew the capacity my being had for love until I met Arlo. It is a scary love. My life is changed forever, my being is changed forever. I am the luckiest. I am the most blessed. I am so full of gratitude.
