"Into all the Valleys Evening Journeys" was partly inspired by Joseph Campbell’s book The Hero with a Thousand Faces which illuminates how a “call to adventure” can send one on a path of trials and tribulations before reaching a final apotheosis, redemption and (sometimes) return. This physical journey is often a metaphor for an internal spiritual awakening from innocence to enlightenment. From Odysseus to Buddha to Anakin Skywalker, this dramatic arch is common to many stories and myths throughout the world.
