Happy birthday, Hermann Hesse

Or should I say “Alles Gute zum Geburtstag”? Either way you would most likely scoff. You’re always on the list whenever someone asks who are the 3 people you’d like to have dinner with but I’m afraid that somehow you wouldn’t like me because I’m a syncophant or some such thing. In any case, your birthday seems to be a great time to thank the Universe for you and your body of work. I’m sorry I didn’t have the courage to finish my doctorate and dedicate a lifetime to analyzing your work! (btw, you can find every post I’ve ever written about Hesse here.)
