From one who sinks beneath your wisdom like a stone -
many, many happy returns Leonard.

Happy birthday, and thank you for coming to Oslo again this summer.

OH LOVE, AREN'T YOU TIRED YET ?

I'm worried for your knees.

Dear Leonard..

.. as my own birthday is coming up, I'm making my very first Lemon Poppy Seed Cake.. I do wish you could try a piece (if it works out, I mean).. I'm actually counting on this cake to cure all the ills of the world.. so.. it's a tall order.. (anyway, if you're in town there'll be a piece waiting for you)..

.. my happiest, shiniest wishes to you.. on this your 76th birthday..

with love and admiration,

v i o l e t xx x

.. hmm.. I just realized that you might interpret this to mean that you yourself (Leonard) are one of the world's ills -- and that wasn't at all my intention (!)..

.. (Jarkko, these birthday threads are brutal.. I hope you realize that)..

I'm compelled to act as if these birthday wishes matter and add my own Happy to them. The suspicious me doubts LC will ever see our greetings; but if the thought counts I did think of Leonard''s birthday today and I'm glad he's going strong.

Live long and keep prospering Leonard.

OH LEONARD COHEN. MY HEART EXTENDS THE VERY BEST WISHES TO YOU ON YOUR BIRTHDAY AND ON ALL YOUR DAYS. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE GIVEN, AND FOR ALL YOU HAVE BECOME. MAY PEACE DESCEND UPON YOU IN BEAUTY. IN LOVE. LIGHTLY LIKE THE COOING OF THE DOVE. NANCY.

No matter what sadness life hands me, I can always turn to you, Leonard, to bring back the joy. Happy, happy 76th!! And may your life always have such a dependable source of joy!

As someone once observed about birthdays and ageing - getting older beats the hell out of the alternative!
Have a great one.

They are playing your songs on the radio (here in Australia) because it's your birthday and it's wonderful that you are now getting the accolades and the recognition you so richly deserve.

Happy Birthday!
