| Enjoying Nature at Sauble Falls By Ronna Kingsley |
When our province legalized toplessness for women, I was
sure we were headed for a revolution on our beaches.
Now, we had the whole beach to ourselves
and I thought about my children's view of the female body, my own attempt to
teach them the true nature of a woman's breast and about the right for all
people to make choices they are comfortable with. With bravery,
self-indulgence and a bit of self-confidence. I took off my bathing suit
top.

Kleenex and Play Money By Lisa Browning |
I pondered my mother's obsession with Kleenex. She keeps
it everywhere -- full boxes in dresser drawers, closet
shelves and garbage cans, and crumpled
up individual sheets in every pocket of all her clothing. When we first
noticed her forgetting things we assumed it was a normal part of the aging
process. But then the hallucinations started.

| Well Furnished with Love By Julia Rosien |
I began motherhood as a cradle, waddling through my pregnant days. I rocked
and swayed while my baby tumbled and tossed in its cozy cocoon. "Maybe our
characters resemble furniture," I thought. After their births, I became
their crib. As they grew, I became their footstool, ladder, and sometimes
their love seat. Now that I think of it, I'm the daughter of a workbench
and I'm married to a bookcase.
