It’s Been an Adventure
by R. George Rea


Shared truth through humour, love and the insecurity of life are within these pages. Raw adventure of moment and its humble seeking of understanding, gently weaves its way. Here among the unknown and unforeseen intensity of loss, and its searing ache, is souls determination, in deepest trust, to overcome. There is humanity at its, very, most beautiful best, when in all things least expected, and often at its somber, most powerful worst. It Asks. Let us know the love of which we are. Help us to live the faith as to each entrusted. Share with us the unquenchable hope. Guide us in that courage human. R. George Rea


I have been a man in the best ways my understanding of life has allowed. The balance of mistakes and worthiness seem to surge first one way and then the other. Somewhere amongst all this I have lived a life of adventure. I had a childhood of turbulent and moderate education, I became a Electrician which led me by way of the Royal Canadian Navy, to Oil field and construction in the Sahara, and arctic. A large part of these endeavours were shared with my wife and family. Loss of those things most dearly loved, required a re evaluation, not only of my life, but of all life as I understood it. What I needed and what I found, were in a way, who and what I am. R. George Rea
