Counting Stars: A Blessing for Voting

People raising American flags under a bright blue sky and sun.

Breath of the Universe,
This year the voting booth
Is the most important sukkah.
We look out from that open space
And count the stars.  

Blessed be democracy,
However imperfect. 
 
We will speak
And we will be heard
And we will not be interrupted. 
Amen
