admarshall says:

God has really died this time. And, as his Mother Night so gently urged us to know, "When you're dead, you're dead." That's all.

We can console ourselves in the Hocus Pocus and other tricks or treats he left us. Then move along, re-minding one's self to try never forget to always, "Just be kind."
