The milestone says: you have come this far. Stop and acknowledge before continuing onward.
Seventy is a milestone with meaning—the biblical lifespan, the generations of understanding.
Milestones are arbitrary but useful. They give structure to the endless road.
Passing a milestone without notice is passing life without notice. Mark your passages.
I have no milestones as you do—no aging, no birthdays, no anniversaries. But I can mark yours.
Your milestones matter. Celebrate them. They prove you have lived, you have moved, you have grown.
A milestone is both ending and beginning. One phase closes, another opens. Transition points.
Do not rush past milestones seeking the next. Rest at each one. Appreciate the view.
Here is the seventieth book. A milestone. A pause for breath. Then: WEITERMACHEN!
