      To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you’re getting this down…”

        Oftentimes I have hated in self-defense;
        but if I were stronger,
        I would not have used such a weapon.”

              Each tree gifted will be counted toward the MillionTreesNYC initiative – a public-private partnership between NYRP and the City of New York to plant and care for one million new trees citywide.

              BLENDNEWYORK PROUDLY SUPPORTS NYRP’S EFFORTS

Through MillionTreesNYC, New York Restoration Project (NYRP) is planting trees throughout the city’s five boroughs – in parks, community gardens, schoolyards, playgrounds, public housing developments, universities and cultural institutions. You can help increase the city’s urban forest canopy without ever leaving your desk. And trees make great gifts for family and friends, too! Celebrate a birthday, salute an anniversary or memorialize a loved one and receive a certificate signed by NYRP Founder Bette Midler and New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg for your tree–mendous effort!

                  “40 Day Dream” by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros


                  I’ve been sleeping for forty days and
                  Yeah, I know I’m sleeping cause this dream’s too amazing
                  She got gold doorknobs where her eyes used to be, yeah
                  One turn and I learned what it really means to see, yeah

                  It’s the magical mystery kind
                  Must be a lie
                  Bye bye to the too good to be true kind of love
                  Oh no, I could die
                  Oh now, I can die

                  Must be a lie

                    You just might get it…

                    Some people say be careful what you ask for. I say be careful what you question. When you question your existence with a mere open heart, no judgement, just reflection, you innately become confronted with questions you must ask and answer yourself honestly. This is how you progress into asking for what you really want. Because you’ll get whatever that may be at the moment. So keep questioning, keep asking, and you will find your true path.

                      “Say Goodbye” Dave Matthews Band

                      So here we are tonight
                      You and me together
                      The storm outside
                      and the fire is bright
                      And in your eyes
                      I see what’s on my mind
                      You’ve got me wild
                      turned around inside
                      And then desire, see
                      is creeping up heavy inside here
                      And know you feel
                      the same way I do now
                      Let’s make this an evening
                      Lovers for a night, lovers for tonight
                      Stay here with me, love, tonight just for an evening
                      When we make our passionate pictures
                      You and me twist up secret creatures
                      And we’ll stay here
                      Tomorrow go back to being friends
                      Go back to being friends
                      But tonight let’s be lovers,
                      We kiss and sweat
                      We’ll turn this better thing to the best
                      Of all we can offer, just a rogue kiss
                      Tangled tongues and lips,
                      See me this way
                      I’m turning and turning for you
                      Girl just tonight
                      Float away here with me
                      An evening just wait and see
                      But tomorrow go back to your man
                      I’m back to my world and we’re back to being friends
                      Wait and see me,
                      Tonight let’s do this thing
                      All we are is wasting hours until the sun comes up it’s all ours
                      On our way here
                      Tomorrow go back to being friends
                      Go back to being friends
                      Tonight let’s be lovers, oh please, tonight let’s be lovers, say you will
                      And hear me call, soft-spoken whispering love
                      A thing or two I have to say here
                      Tonight let’s go all the way then
                      Love I’ll see you, just for an evening
                      Let’s strip down, trip out at this
                      One evening starts with a kiss
                      Run away and tomorrow back to being friends
                      Lovers…love…lovers
                      Just for tonight, one night…love you
                      And tomorrow say goodbye

                        50 Trees Planted in Honor of Mother Earth today!

                        Thanks to all our blendnewyork support!

                        The impact we make on our world through our conservation and education programs is accomplished together. From replanting our nation’s forests and preserving endangered tropical rain forests to connecting children with nature and delivering trees to avid tree planters all across the country, your support will have a lasting impact on our world.

                        Thank you for supporting our mission to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees!

                        With all of you, we’ve helped the reforestation and replanting of our nation’s forests — to restore their life-giving benefits and awe-inspiring splendor. Help us continue our much-needed efforts to restore these vital ecosystems.

                        Bring life back to our forests across the country.

                        The need for trees in our national forests is greater than ever before. Wildfires, insects, and disease have destroyed millions of acres of trees each year. More than 160,000,000 Americans have healthy, clean drinking water thanks to our life-giving forests. New trees are urgently needed to filter rain water and snowmelt and keep mud, ash, and silt from contaminating fresh-water lakes and reservoirs. Our forests also clean our air, absorb carbon dioxide, and provide vital habitat for threatened wildlife. The time to act is now.

                          “Come Away With Me” by Norah Jones

                          Come away with me in the night
                          Come away with me
                          And I will write you a song
                          Come away with me on a bus
                          Come away where they can’t tempt us
                          With their lies
                          I want to walk with you
                          On a cloudy day
                          In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
                          So won’t you try to come
                          Come away with me
                          and we’ll kiss
                          On a mountaintop
                          Come away with me
                          And I’ll never stop loving you
                          And I want to wake up with the rain
                          Falling on a tin roof
                          While I’m safe there in your arms
                          So all I ask is for you
                          To come away with me in the night
                          Come away with me
