I believe that every expression of support, caring, etc., for someone who is suffering is a prayer, whether or not the sender and/or the receiver are believers. I believe that there is a Supreme Being who hears all prayers, and that prayer is a powerful healer, physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually. I believe that when all of us offer such prayers, as a community, the person for whom we pray, as well as those of us who offer the prayer, are benefitted. I believe that this is one of the more important threads of our social fabric that weave us together as joint inhabitants of this planet. I hope that, not only for those we know, but also for those we've yet to meet, we will always be ready to offer our support, encouragement and, thus, our love. Robby
