An “Deux ex Machina” is needed!

2 Replies

The ancient Greek dramatists often employed an “Deux ex Machina” when the plot reached an insoluble dilemma. The Gods would descend on a platform from above the stage and peremptorily resolve the impasse presented in the drama. This mechanical contrivance…and it was literally “mechanical”…would then offer a solution to the incomprehensible matter that the dramatist had woven into the plot This was an example of a “divine intervention” in which the gods would intervene into a plot dilemma. The Greeks understood that from time to time the plot of the human predicament in which we are implicated cannot be resolved without an heavenly intrusion.

My country is living in one of these moments. Trump’s insanity is becoming more and more intense with the assistance of “Trump Lite” in the form of Elon Musk and his coterie of acolytes. Oh let it be that an “deux ex machina” here be employed by the Gods and suddenly bring Kamala Harris onto the stage and kick Trump’s ass and his demonic minions into oblivion!

    Well, stay focused on what you know to be good, true and beautiful in your life. Prayer, not a mechanical contrivance is the way to go. Stay steady and calm, relying on God’s presence. The good thing is that He sees it all. We are not alone. Don’t fall into the abyss as though you have no faith in light overcoming darkness.

    Wishing you peace and good,

    Bonnie
