Rea

In Greek mythology, R(h)ea is the mother of Zeus and the other gods of Olympus. In real life, Rea refers to people who have grown to accept the vileness in life, but at the same time fervently affirm the wonder that it is. They will not force this premise on you, they will not preach it to you, but they will gently model it for you, like loving parents pass on the zest for life to their child through eyes that sparkle with gaiety and heartfelt gratitude - it will be indulgent and still , but constant and full of love. Ultimately, they will prove out to you that one can give life a meaning, even if it may not have one in the end.

Grandfather to his grandson: "I always have fond memories of that summer in my early 20s. In search of myself, I met a woman called Rea."
