Zero to soul in too little time

Maybe not in this lifetime he, every he, had known theirs

In cycles past, I probably let this drive me crazy

in this one, I'm fine. I'm really really mine

Or my soul has no mate, or it's lazy

what does insanity wear when she's ready for town?

pretty sure she looks somewhere between whore and clown

Pretty. Sure.

I brought Vetiver the triceratops with me to work as my pocket buddy but because I'm wearing my work pants that have smaller pockets and I have to go outside today I can't actually have him with me (I need the space for my sunglasses) which sucks because he's velvety textured and that's one of my favorite textures. But it hasn't been a bad day for me so far so hopefully he doesn't mind guarding my backpack :)

Guerlain Habit Rouge, Vetiver & L'Homme Ideal parfums review - Delphine Jelk; 2024

My review of the new parfum versions of Guerlain Habit Rouge, Vetiver and L'Homme Ideal

Why entice us with just one scent when three bottles lined up next to each other look so much better in a photo? Perhaps that’s what the Powers That Be at Guerlain were thinking when they decided it was time to increase their masculine range with a trio of ‘parfum’ versions of their most high-profile releases: the classic Vetiver and Habit Rouge, as well as the more recent L’Homme Ideal. I…

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Day No. 1, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, Sept. 29, 2023

- Rickie Lee Jones, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, John Cragie, Peter Rowan and others highlight first day

Rickie Lee Jones opened the 2023 edition of Hardly Strictly Bluegrass - and christened the festival’s new, Horseshoe Hill stage - by reading from her 2021 memoir.

And Peter Rowan played country - not bluegrass - music during his late-afternoon set on the Banjo stage.

These were just two highlights from Day One at the long-running festival, which also included Christone “Kingfish” Ingram redefining the blues and John Craigie finding his quirky spot alongside Todd Snider in folk-Americana.

Seated on the small stage set up to resemble a living room and flanked with clothes drying on the line, an animated Jones embellished her reading from “Last Chance Texaco” with playful asides and wise cracks. She talked about how Laura Nyro made her feel connected and how Neil Young made her realize odd voices can be successful voices.

“I like it up here,” Jones said of being on stage. “I think artists sometime mistake the excitement for fear.”

Jones read about hitchhiking through California as a 14-year-old in 1969 as a foggy drizzle enveloped Golden Gate Park. She had soundchecked with a snippet of “The Horses,” but ended her well-received spoken-word gig by playing her father’s composition “The Moon is Made of Gold” solo and acoustic and earning a standing ovation from the small crowd seated in grass surrounded by tall trees.

Afterward, Mr. and Mrs. Sound Bites took in a couple of numbers from Vetiver - think the Byrds with a slide guitarist - on the Swan stage as the blog couple headed for Ingram, who played before an audience of thousands on the Towers of Gold stage.

Borrowing Stevie Ray Vaughan’s tone and adding equal measures of funk and R&B, Ingram and his band were super-charged during 50 minutes of electrifying blues as they continually tore the music down before building it right back up. The guitarist sang of lost love on “Fresh Out;” walked off stage, but kept playing out of sight, to showcase his band on “Not Gonna Lie;” and engaged powerful call-and-response with his keyboardist during the set, which ended as Craigie took to the adjacent Swan stage.

Backed by electric bass and guitar and playing acoustic axe and harmonica, Craigie mixed humorous stage banter with tunes both playful (“I Wrote Mr. Tambourine Man”) and serious (“I am California”). Stage presence and song craft made fans of the Sound Biteses, who got their second dose of Craigie in as many days following the previous evening’s benefit for Camp Winnarainbow.

Bluegrass legend Rowan was the biggest surprise of the day, turning in a country and blues set that found him alternating between electric guitar and mandolin, supported by guitar, bass, drums and fiddle. This was exhilarating, though low volume at the Banjo stage lessened the impact of the instrumental guitar duel of “T Bone Shuffle” and made “Panama Red” -> “Freight Train” -> “Panama Red” sound like they were coming in on the winds from Ocean Beach.

Small price to pay for the opportunity to hear Rowan perform such warhorses as “Lonesome L.A. Cowboy,” “Land of the Najavo” and “Midnight Moonlight” in novel musical settings in the bucolic landscape of Golden Gate Park.

Heartbreaking: When you realize what the actual lyrics are ... and you like the misheard ones better.

Truth:

"Lately, I've been waiting for the day

You're the melody that lives inside my head"

My ears:

"Lately, I've been waiting for the dirt

You're the melody that lives inside my hurt"

Vetiver (in French, vetyver) is a fast-growing perennial grass from the Poaceae family of plants, which also includes lemongrass and citronella. It also can grow very tall! Vetiver also has a large, interlinked root system from which the essential oil of the plant (used widely in perfumery and incense production) is derived.

Vetiver is native to Southern India, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia, but today is widely cultivated in various countries around the world, including Reunion, Haiti, the Philippines, Japan, the Comoro Islands, West Africa and Polynesia.

► So...It’s just grass?

No! Vetiver can not only produce small purple-brown blooms, but It’s also used in many different ways therapeutically. Vetiver is sometimes applied directly to the skin for relieving stress, as well as for emotional traumas and shock, lice, and repelling insects. It is also used for arthritis, stings, and burns. Vetiver is sometimes inhaled as aromatherapy for nervousness, insomnia, and joint and muscle pain. Vetiver oil has a very distinct woody/earthy smell, making it a must have for grounding techniques when using essential oils.

► So... What exactly do they look like?

► Do they symbolize anything?

It's said that the vetiver root symbolizes vitality.

► Tell me more!

This grounding and earthy essential oil was a staple in the traditional medicine of ancient China. It was used as a treatment to soothe and replenish dry skin, balance the emotions, ease negativity and energize, calm and cool the body. Chinese physicians actually prescribed vetiver, which when used with meditation, was a means to restore “Yin” deficiencies, which were often associated with depression.
