Come and Find Me

A vivid, epistolary portrait unfolds as a writer reaches out from a sun‑bleached Florida estate, wrestling with the restless pull between imagination and labor. He describes a house that feels more like a playground than a workplace, where carpenters break into music and the air hums with the chorus of birds, insects, and distant waves. The narrator’s observations of the surrounding wilderness—herons skimming a lake, the delicate imprint of a deer's foot, the glow of evening light on Spanish moss—create a lush backdrop that mirrors his inner turbulence.

Through the gentle humor of characters like the lumber‑laden Mr. Tarrypin and the ever‑present Hildegarde, the story captures the tension of trying to build something lasting amid endless distractions. As the narrator balances his yearning for creative purpose with the pull of the natural world, listeners are invited into a reflective, almost dream‑like first act that celebrates both the stubbornness of work and the enchantment of place.
