The Mountain in My Mind

Behind this piece: I have never climbed a tall mountain before, and I frankly wondered if I could do it. I decided to do this climb only two months prior. All the other folks had decided long before and had been training for it. So, while processing all of that, I created this piece about what I imagined the mountain would look like at night. We started our ascent to the summit at midnight. At the top were glaciers and snow, so this wasn't very far off.
