T.G.I.Forfatter (writer)
(23 June 2018)
Did you know that Norwegian is the only language that I know in which the word “writer” starts with a letter “F.” I looked, as you can see by the extensive list below! Thus it is the only language I could use yesterday to fit our “TGIF: What It Really Means” category. I love the beauty and diversity of these languages. I apologize about the confusion. This is a next day edit to explain! Our contributing homeless artists write beautiful poetry and I believe could sell their works, if they were so inclined. Johnny O’s poems have been shared on television in Denver and he belongs to a vibrant and very hip writers group there. Cord’s poetry and photos are exquisite, each one a work of art. So I wanted to encourage Cord, Johnny and anyone who has the courage to “sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”
“Any writer worth his salt writes to please himself…It’s a self-exploratory operation that is endless. An exorcism of not necessarily his demon, but of his divine discontent.” – Harper Lee
“Writing eases my suffering . . . writing is my way of reaffirming my own existence.” – Gao Xingjian
“I write because I don’t know what I think until I read what I say.” – Flannery O’Connor
“I just knew there were stories I wanted to tell.” – Octavia E. Butler

Saint Maximilian Maria Kolbe OFM Conv. (Polish: Maksymilian Maria Kolbe (8 January 1894 – 14 August 1941) was a Polish Conventual Franciscan friar who volunteered to die in place of a stranger in the German death camp of Auschwitz, located in German-occupied Poland during World War II. He was active in promoting the veneration of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, founding and supervising the monastery of Niepokalanów near Warsaw, operating an amateur radio station (SP3RN), and founding or running several other organizations and publications. Kolbe was canonized on 10 October 1982 by Pope John Paul II, and declared a Martyr of charity…John Paul II declared him “The Patron Saint of Our Difficult Century”. Source:
