With all the electionate nonsense quieting to a dull roar (and in the case of one end of the equation, emphasize the “dull”, as in mentally and socially challenged…) and summer coming to its inevitably impending end, there’s a feeling of wistfulness in the air.  You can feel something’s lost.

Sure, it’s a season of change, a move into the darker half of the year where the putative Oak King passes and his dark brother the Holly King holds sway, but it’s more than that. Something’s missing, and it’s something vital to the human spirit.
