"IN THE SPRING OF 1509 the courtiers attending the King of Spain in his temporary headquarters at Segovia just north of Madrid awaited anxiously the arrival of a caped horseman who had been expected some hours earlier. When he came clattering into the paved courtyard they rushed to help him dismount, but he vaulted from his horse, ignoring the offers of help.
‘How dare you keep the king waiting!’ they cried.
‘Gypsies camping under a bridge,’ he said curtly. ‘Set it afire cooking their stolen meats.’
‘Three times the king has summoned you.’
‘And I wasn’t here to answer, was I?’ he snapped, but then as he brushed himself and discarded his cape, throwing it across his saddle, his momentary brusqueness dissolved into a gracious smile: ‘He’ll understand,’ and he headed for the palace door."~~~James A. Michener: CARIBBEAN. Ch3 Christopher Columbus in Hispaniola

Mark 11:23

"For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith."

Ecclesiastes 5:2

“Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.”

 

 11:23  ἀμὴν γὰρ λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ὃς ἂν εἴπῃ τῷ ὄρει τούτῳ Ἄρθητι καὶ βλήθητι εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ μὴ διακριθῇ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ ἀλλὰ πιστεύσῃ ὅτι ἃ λέγεῖ γίνεται ἔσται αὐτῷ ὃ ἐὰν εἴπῃ

FORT GRIFFIN

La CONQUISTA DEL OESTE es una ACCIÓN, CANCIÓN y una METÁFORA del PLAN de Dios para la Humanidad!

La dialéctica o tensión entre FORTY y COMANCHE ( Fort and Eating) podemos visualisarla meditando en estos dos versículos:

"We will destroy them!’ Matark decreed, and with a mixture of fear and joy the old men ran out to reveal the decision to the braves. They knew that judged by the long years, this strategy must fail, but they also knew that it was a gesture which had to be made. The odds against them were tremendous, for they knew how few in number they were and how powerful that line of Texas forts could be, crammed with blue-clad soldiers. The Comanche could recite the fearful names: Fort Richardson in the north, the new Fort Griffin, Fort McKavett, Fort Concho where the many rivers met, Fort Stockton to the west, Fort Davis, strongest of all beneath the mountains, Fort Bliss at the Rio Grande, and a dozen more."~~~James A. Michener: TEXAS. Ch.10 The Fort

 

 

 

  "Because the nature of Indian warfare on the Texas range must be understood if the history of Texas is to be appreciated, it must be recorded that during a span of about thirty years dozens of farmers and ranchers and traders were killed each year by the Indians, an awesome total. But it was the manner in which they were killed that enraged the settlers and made any peace with the Indians impossible."~~~James A. Michener: TEXAS. Ch.10 The Fort
