Every email, every time, I see the future coming at me.

Falling on you? Seems if it is coming at ou you can sidestep, while falling on you seems a bit more like the "heads up" call where you don't even know where the future is falling from? So you just kinda scramble around willy-nilly?

Like golfers calling "fore" or lumberjacks yelling "timber".

Yeah, what do foresight-y sci-fi-y people yell as the future drops or tips over?

"Fore!!!!!!...sight." Obvs.

Is it coming at you, or are you going at it? I mean, the future is static, it's always just there. You're the one in motion. You are the verb in the temporal sentence.

I (try, try really hard) to live in the moment so yeah, I'm surrounded by the future and it looks like it's coming for me...

Are you trying for a new Stoicism? The future as logos?
