Tabs OpenStorm ShuttersWe closed the heavy storm shutters with their green paint flaking like dry skin and listened to the rain start kicking up the sand outside. Closing the storm shutters always felt kind of disrespectful—like cheating an act of God that you were supposed to endure, or at least bear witness to.As it was the wind found its way through plenty of old knotholes and cracks in the walls of the beach house. We had been out swimming a half-hour earlier and where it came through the gaps in the old wood it raised goosebumps on ou...2022-02-1600 min
Tabs OpenWolves' TeethThere was no sound save for the crackling of fire, the steady blanket of snow drowning all else. The girl, the storyteller, stood before the flames. There were sparks reflected in her eyes as she spoke:“In that time before the friendship of the thunderbirds this land was ruled by wolves. Each night, as the moon rose behind a curtain of clouds, they would pad softly to our doors and snatch away that which we held dear in their terrible jaws. In the mornings the fresh powder would cover their tracks, and all that was left of th...2022-02-0909 min
Tabs OpenThere Is Our Future House Burning Like A Star On The HillOn New Year’s Eve, out of both a sincere desire to stay healthier this year than I normally do and an unshakeable devotion to filling my life with new and meaningful rituals, I made myself some fire cider.Or perhaps it’s more accurate to say that I started the process of making fire cider. It takes a month for this particular tonic to reach its full potency, at least according to the folksy people I borrowed the method from; luckily I have stopped attaching much meaning to New Year’s Day in recent years and was no...2022-02-0207 min
Tabs OpenLife Will Not Answer To ReasonI would like to tell you a story about a forest.When I was a Boy Scout, one of the year’s biggest events was always “Stealth,” the mutant child of a campout and a game of capture-the-flag. At base camp, the adults would divide us up into two teams and then send us off into the Morgan Hill woods in opposite directions with a map and a compass. With no supervision, we were tasked with finding a suitable campsite, entertaining and cooking for ourselves, and then getting up in the morning to go hunt for the other...2022-01-1911 min
Tabs OpenNobody's Lives Stood StillHappy New Year, everybody. I made the decision to travel for the holidays, so I’ve only just recently flown back to Seattle and begun settling back into the comfortable routines that time spent in other people’s homes—even ones I once lived in, too—necessarily shake me out of for a while. The thing about living all the way across the country from everyone in your immediate family (and most of your extended family) is that there becomes a real pressure to maximize your time on those occasions when you do get back to your hometown...2022-01-0505 min
Tabs OpenProsopagnosiaIn the bathroom of my apartment we have a large mirror above the sink. Perpendicular to that is another mirror, on the door of the medicine cabinet. If you swing open the door of the medicine cabinet you can start to make some fun visual effects happen.When the cabinet is half-open, there is still the regular reflection in each mirror, but then you have a third mirrored reflection of the one being mirrored in the other. This is all to say that since moving in here earlier this year I have spent an inordinate amount of...2021-12-1508 min
Tabs OpenThe Peace Of Wild ThingsYou find all those Instagram posts offering Gentle Reminders pretty corny and obvious most of the time. And sometimes they’re corny and seem obvious, but really they’re way off-base. They substitute personal decision-making as a solution for systemic and institutional problems, and you’ve moved beyond that framework a long time ago. You see yet another one that seems of a piece with all those. It is a series of slides illustrated with peaceful pastel foxes. You are becoming allergic to this type of thing, but you swipe through it anyway, because it’s something to do.2021-12-0805 min
Tabs OpenHelp Me To Find The Heft Of These DaysHow many of you can relate to the following scenario: you and your partner, or the person you live with, prefer your bacon in two different ways—you chewy, them crispy, or vice versa. (For non meat-eating people, maybe it’s that you like your seitan(?) crumbly(?) and the other party doesn’t. Or vice versa.) And of course you know this about each other, and so when one of you cooks breakfast you do your best to make some of the bacon in the other’s preferred style.But then it rarely works out, right? You undercoo...2021-12-0107 min
Tabs OpenThey Say Everything Can Be ReplacedNote: I wrote and published this piece last November. It says most of what I could ever think to say about Thanksgiving, and tradition, and all sorts of other things. So instead of trying to churn out a few thousand more words this time around—especially since it’s a holiday week—I’m posting this one again, since I can now record audio versions as well. There will be some fresh newsletter content coming down the pipeline soon, I promise.How would you act if you knew you were about to do something you loved for the last...2021-11-2406 min
Tabs OpenThe Best Way Is To Do Nothing At AllI’m developing a theory.Over the summer, my wife and I dropped our dog off with my mom for a week while we went on vacation. When we got back, my mom had some thoughts.“You know, I don’t think she sees all that well. Sometimes she can’t find treats I’ve dropped right in front of her.”That matched a trend my wife and I have noticed over these months with Orla, too. It can be broad daylight and if you throw a treat on the ground for her—usually to rew...2021-11-1706 min
Tabs OpenSplash Where The Two Branches Meet And Play GodHello, and thanks for spending some time here at Tabs Open. I have been encouraged to use this space to remind you, or perhaps tell you for the first time, that my book, A Good Place for Maniacs: Dispatches from the Pacific Crest Trail, is available for purchase online wherever books are sold. You can also just click that button below! ⬇️ In remote Wyoming, nestled deep in the Teton Wilderness, one can find a place called Two Ocean Pass. Running into the pass some 8,000 feet above sea level is North Two Ocean Creek, a stream of water whic...2021-11-1000 min
Tabs OpenGrace Comes By Art And Art Does Not Come EasyFor my whole life I have been afraid of heights. Or I guess more technically I have been afraid of falling from heights, as the old joke goes.This fear is the main reason I put off getting into rock climbing for as long as I did. What kind of idiot intentionally does things that scare them, I ask you. Before this year, climbing was something I would do once in a great while, usually as some kind of social outing, never frequently enough to get any better or worse at it. When I was a kid...2021-10-2705 min
Tabs OpenEvery Drop Of Red Must Float On A Sea Of GreenOne of the nice things about being a teacher is the ability to go off at some length about things that are important to you. Ideally you’re not holding an audience of students hostage, obviously, and your rants hopefully relate in some way to the course material at hand. But having the power of this prerogative is occasionally very exciting. The Language Arts and Social Studies theme in my GED class this quarter is “Radicals and Revolutions,” which for someone with my predilections is awfully fertile ground for the occasional tangent. And while our Science content for th...2021-10-2007 min
Tabs OpenYou Do Not Even Have To Believe In YourselfFor the past few months I have felt as though I had very little to say. Not that whatever writing talent I might have was gone, per se, just that I had nowhere to direct it. Writing about writing is not particularly interesting to me, and I doubt it makes for riveting reading, either. But consider this an explanation, or possibly an apology, for going so far off the steady newsletter schedule lately. There has been one instructive piece in all this, which is learning—or perhaps re-learning, as this all has happened before—what it t...2021-10-1304 min
