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).

Discovery

On this day baby Arlo discovered his feet. Propped up on pillows in our morning nest I noticed him concentrating very hard on his feet, he saw them. Then! He started moving his right leg slowly, and watching it very closely.

Also, after sitting upright against the pillows for awhile Arlo then decided that he wanted to move. He took matters into his own hands, slumped foward, and squirmed to his belly where he did his little larval wiggle-- kicking his legs and squirming. He scooted to the edge of the mattress (which is on the floor) and right before his head touched the floor I scoopted him up. The look on his face was incredibly, he looked in awe of his progress. He had an adventure all on his own, he then spend the next ten minutes telling me all about it, bright eyed and thrilled.
