Parachin tells a story: When Walt Whitman was a young, aspiring writer-long before he established himself as one of America’s premier poets – he had a tough time getting published. One of his most famous books, “Leaves of Grass,” was rejected so many times that Whitman published it himself, and working with a little print shop, he produced 800 copies.

In some ways humans are inferior to animals. I have seen some incredibly strong men, but never one "as strong as  an ox". Men  can run 100 meters  in under 10 seconds, but that doesn’t begin to compare with the speed of a cheetah. There are people  who have an uncanny  sense of direction, but even they can’t explain how migrating swallows can return unerringly to the same place year after year.

That’s what I wondered to myself when I discovered the harmonica at 12 years old, while in search of a musical instrument for a school performance. I just could not believe that all I needed was the wind to blow in and blow out from within me to play the theme from the then TV series The Little House on the Prairie. I think one could never have a better beginning of a kinship with the wind than a child can with a musical instrument (well, okay a kite, perhaps soaring the same height…).
