But on the way home tonight, you wish you'd picked him up, held him a bit. just held him, very close to your heart, his cheek by the hollow of your shoulder, full of sleep. as it it were you who could, somehow, save him. for the moment not caring who you're supposed to be registered as. for the moment, anyway, no longer who the caesars say you are.

But On The Way Home Tonight, You

Thomas Pynchon
But on the way home tonight, you wish you'd picked him up, held him a bit. just held him, very close to your heart, his cheek by the hollow of your shoulder, full of sleep. as it it were you who could, somehow, save him. for the moment not caring who you're supposed to be registered as. for the moment, anyway, no longer who the caesars say you are.

More From Thomas Pynchon

My paramount object in this struggle is to save the union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. if i could save the union without freeing any slave i would do it, and if i could save it by freeing all the slaves i would do it; and if i could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone i would also do that. what i do about slavery, and the colored race, i do because i believe it helps to save the union; and what i forbear, i forbear because i do not believe it would help to save the union.

Peter curled his hands into fists at his sides. 'kiss me,' he said. she leaned towards him slowly, until her face was too close to be in focus. her hair fell over peter's shoulder like a curtain and her eyes closed. she smelled like autumn-like apple cider and slanting sun and the snap of the coming cold. he felt his heart scrambling, caught inside the confines of his own body. josie's lips landed just on the edge of his, almost his cheek and not quite his mouth. 'i'm glad i wasn't stuck in here alone,' she said shyly, and he tasted the words, sweet as mint on her breath.

Go back, go back to sleep. yes, you are allowed. you who have no love in your heart, you can go back to sleep. the power of love is exclusive to us, you can go back to sleep. i have been burnt by the fire of love. you who have no such yearning in your heart, go back to sleep. the path of love, has seventy-two folds and countless facets. your love and religion is all about deceit, control and hypocrisy, go back to sleep. i have torn to pieces my robe of speech, and have let go of the desire to converse. you who are not naked yet, you can go back to sleep.
Letting Go Love You Heart
Towns are full of people, houses full of tenants, hotels full of guests, trains full of travelers, cafés full of customers, parks full of promenaders, consulting-rooms of famous doctors full of patients, theatres full of spectators, and beaches full of bathers. what previously was, in general, no problem, now begins to be an everyday one, namely, to find room.

The cure is care. caring for others is the practice of peace. caring becomes as important as curing. caring produces the cure, not the reverse. caring about nuclear war and its victims is the beginning of a cure for our obsession with war. peace does not comes through strength. quite the opposite: strength comes through peace. the practices of peace strengthen us for every vicissitude. . . . the task is immense!

The source of peace is within us; so also the source of war. and the real enemy is within us, and not outside. the source of war is not the existence of nuclear weapons or other arms. it is the minds of human beings who decide to push the button and to use those arms out of hatred, anger or greed.

We can achieve much more in peace than we can ever achieve in these needless, unconstitutional, undeclared wars.
