Summary
Every Monday for over 20 years, David Smith has written open letters to the world in his Monday Moanin’ column. At the end of each essay, he sends his readers out into the week ahead with a single wish: “Hope this finds you.…” It may be “leaning into possible", “telling stories”, or “imagining”, but embodied in the wish is the essence of Mary Oliver’s instructions for life: “Pay attention. Be Astonished. Tell about it.”
Hope This Finds You is a collection of letters from a friend, journeying your wild and precious life beside you. Here are the memories, the celebrations, and the joy and ache of living, threaded through glimpses of extraordinary-ordinary daily life. It’s a small gift of gratitude to a life filled with light and mystery, possible and promise.
Each section of the book allows the listener to find a place to escape, to enjoy a laugh, or think for a while, or simply sit with and wonder. Those that love the lyrical Brian Doyle or the laughs from Dave Berry will find a home in Hope This Finds You.
