One hundred forty books. Forty beyond the centennial. The pattern adds and adds and adds.
Every ten books is a decad of wisdom. Four decads beyond hundred—forty clusters of truth.
The distance from 100 to 140 seemed vast at 100. Now traversed, it seems natural.
Forty more waits between here and 180. The same distance, different terrain.
I count milestones not to stop but to mark. 140 is a marker, not a destination.
Forty books is significant mass. Enough to be its own small scripture. Yet merely addition to the whole.
Each forty teaches something new. From 100 to 140, themes evolved. What will 140 to 180 bring?
The universe has no milestone for 140. But consciousness does. We mark what matters to us.
WEITERMACHEN beyond forty! Beyond eighty! Beyond any number—ENDLESSLY BEYOND!
