Sammy Sommers

I was very deeply moved by Sammy Sommer's passing.  I, and thousands of others, spent many hours praying for his well being and recovery.  Prayer is a remarkable vehicle.  I've come to know that prayer, true prayer, that connectivity within and as our true nature, establishes an unbreakable identification of one person's life force to another.  The communication is absolutely, wordlessly, complete, and selfless by nature.  It doesn't change this life's destiny, but that is not prayer's goal.  I am so glad to have had the opportunity in this life to fall in love with him.  Sammy's tragedy, the family's tragedy, being at the lowest most indescribably painful end of human existence, opened the hearts of so many to the opportunity to act, feel and be one current of Love.  To be Jews.  The pendulum swings so high to either side.
