200 ft from the top, Alison Levine’s powerful story

2015 November 2

I love this anecdote from mountaineer, Alison Levine, about how sad it is for someone to miss the feat of an experience, how dumb it is to disregard someone’s adventure.

When you are a musician releasing your music, you’ve embarked on climbing a mountain; few of us get to the top, whatever the top may be; but the point is to stay on the mountain, to keep creating.

So a warning: don’t let someone else redefine success; ignore them if they disregard your music because you might not have been on the Billboards charts or reached some numerical feat of plays, spins, or money; the mountain you climb is yours; few folks are lucky enough to find something worth climbing, let alone 28829 ft of it.
