Another Sad Tragedy - by "My Beach"

 A helicopter, two ambulances' lights flashing on the beach on the other side of the pier, a boat or two, and multiple other ambulances at the edge of the park by the beach - a few minutes ago.

The word - is that some think kids were out in the lake and went under.  It seems obvious that more than one person probably has drowned. 

I'm re-triggered, crying.

See:  Sacred Space  - A HORRIBLE Tragedy! (https://www.georgemarx.org/2021/09/sacred-space.html)

I don't know - and part of me wants Not to know!

So Sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Post-Script - story didn't make the news because evidently it was a jet skier who was successfully rescued!   Very Thankful!

Big Girls Don't Cry

BIG GIRLS DON'T CRY My father (Menachem) Imanuel Marx died Friday, November 13, 1964, when I was 13 years old.    My mother woke my brother and I up with the news early that morning.    We went to the hospital and saw him for the last time. I didn’t cry then.       Daniel and I went to school that day.   I didn’t tell anyone. Two days later at the funeral, I was still being “a man” (i.e. not crying).   Until I was in my second men’s group around age 31, I didn’t allow myself to cry .    I rationalized this by saying to myself:   “ How does x compare with the death of my father ?”. I am self-identified as a   Jewish man .    Growing up that meant being intellectual and not emotional .    Our Sabbath dinner was the only time in the week, when we couldn’t read at the table.    While I was “schooled” on feelings through my men’s work (, most significantly through helping co-found Men Stopping Rape, Inc. in 1983), it was only several months ago that I was able to first
