Let's make this birthday one to remember.

84 years old (Born on January 22, 1941)

Happy birthday to the brilliant Jaan Kaplinski! May your day be as delightfully wandering and philosophically profound as "The Wandering Border." Your poetic wisdom has guided us through life's complexities, though we're still trying to figure out if it's the same river or not.

From translating intricate thoughts into beautiful verses in "Evening Brings Everything Back," you've shown that poetry can indeed bring everything back—even our lost socks. Here's hoping this year brings you more literary adventures, fewer existential crises, and plenty of cake—because even philosophers deserve frosting-covered enlightenment!

Cheers to another timeless chapter filled with laughter and inspiration!
