Valleys: An Uncanny Tourist Guide


You can leave them. I'm not convinced this applies to ecological awareness.
The Valley of the Shadow of Death, the Slough of Despond (Pilgrim's Progress). Our devotees are able to exit them.
Let's think of some others together (comments welcome).
There are some undeniable gender complexities in the valley.
Frank Zappa, “Valley Girl.”
Valley of the Dolls.
What about other religions?
Shangri-La. Otherwise known as Shambhala.
La Vallée. Movie with soundtrack by Pink Floyd about a lost civilization. Primitivism.
Romanticism has its dells and nooks (“of paradise,” as someone said of Samuel Palmer's art).
