No other options:
it's that life allows no other options than what is, and yet this moment alone holds the promise of the future. This isn't about free will, a philosophical subject far beyond my thinking, it's not about what I believe - what is now, what's present, is all the world offers. It will change, already in the midst, and my participation, my seeming choices of involvement will belong to this as well. But what's present now, it's this that calls for my awareness, that even as my world changes, I only have this present moment. Life allows no other options than what is,
of course the argument otherwise is for the choices to be made, that I affect the world through possibilities and options. I am often told and have long read that there is always an option, another way to view and change my circumstances. Perhaps. But what I touch on here is just what's in the moment, whatever present circumstance is found is the base of every option.
life is always immediate.
so, each moment is my only option, it's the reality of now - until it isn't.
then, there is another moment.
this isn't about choice, nor free will, but only what is present. My option is what life holds for me, and how it has all come to me is a questioned asked, but so often left unanswered. Mostly, I just don't know. Life is complicated, events entwined, seamless - and here is all is. I accept this, deal, and work with what appears. I participate with life.
it's my only real option.
