Alfredo,
I understand. I don’t know why I was able to watch it all the way through. I caught myself screaming at the horror. I think what made me go on was heroism of the captain of the coast guard vessel, his crew, and the people of Lesbos. I don’t know that I could do what the captain and those people of Lesbos do, but I think they are motivating me in the right direction. I am sure that I could not withstand what the refugees go through. The video has been nominated for a 2017Oscar for the best documentary short subject. It came out in September 2016. I got this info at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4.1_Miles <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4.1_Miles>.

As I watch this video (I could not watch the whole, just watch few minutes), I get paralysed, because there is an absolute excess of undergoing that my doing can do little about, at least for now. I need to step back, or I would freeze there. Indeed, I cannot watch the whole right now. Not sure how to put this with regard to perezhivanie.  I can only see those angels I saw crying, terrified, and feel so much pain not to be there helping them feel calmer, safer. I guess for here to be something of a perezhivanie, there must be some work over, and I really haven't got a handle on that work yet. Beth and others spoke of a pivot... I am not sure what this is, but it really hurts for now.

An amazing, horrifying 20 minutes of the efforts of Greek coast guard to rescue refugees from the 4.1 miles of water between Turkey and Lesbos. I hope this link will take you to the video:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4.1_Miles <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4.1_Miles>. For me, viewing the video was emotional in a way I would understand as perizhivanie. Especially in the context of Trump’s executive order to build that wall. Thank you for asking! Thank you for listening!
