Reading all this makes me miss dawn that much more. Dawn is so amasing. She's got a presence like very few other people I've met. She's so easy to be around, and so caring. And so fun to bug! She makes the best shocked expressions! she is great to have as a friend.
Dude, I don't know what Dawn is, other then totaly cool. Dawn is one of the few people who can get 25 umschoolers oginized and out the door before 10am. She's also Canadian, which makes just about anyone cooler. And it's really easy to make her blush. (Ryland!) Dawn's a great person to talk to if you want to know anything about traveling. She knows sooo much about traveling by your self. And she tells the best stories. Dawn is a great person to just be around and talk to. If your happy, sad or what ever, she's there. Dawn is beyond cool. -The LHF Dawn is a talented, dazzling, vibrant, organized, funny, interesting, intelligent, compassionate and quirky woman. She has always given me a hug when I needed one and has such a passion for life and what she is doing or has done that it constantly amazes me. Always pulling things out of her bag of tricks that I can never see and being an absolute wonder. She has a wonderful glow to her face that just lights up and I can't help but smile. ~mike Dawn... wow... she has alwas amazed me, in the things that she has done, and how she handles her self, such grace, and strangth, and deturmanation, I love being around here, I've had some amazing conversaions with her, and some nice, non awquard silinces.
I'm alwas impressed by not knowing what idea she has up hear sleav next.
and of all the people I could think of, to wake up next to in a pile on the floor, I could not think of anyone cuter then her. Dawn: a challenging, fascinating bundle of humanity. Beautiful beyond all reasonable definitions of beauty. Grand Mistress of the written word and the spoken word. Maker of large jars of milky sugar water with a faint tea flavor. Giver of hugs and honesty. A fantastic companion for explorations of the body, mind, and heart. Wisdom in motion. One of my dearest friends. You rock my socks, babe. I love you. Reading this page makes me happy. Dawn is a strong joyful caring person who I feel I am getting to know slowly and in bits, but with every bit I feel a mile closer to her. With Dawn, it didn't bother me to get whistled at on the street. With Dawn, the fact that I was supposed to leave in a couple hours didn't completely bring me down. She is light, she is a new day. She makes me smile when I think of her. dawn is quite simply one of the most amazing people i know. she can make me feel like i really belong, like there's a reason i decided to get up this morning & stretch & face a new day with an open heart open head open hands & a certain amount of faith in my eyes. she's amazingly intuitive, & she listens without judging. well, you can't fix me but you can, & have, helped me look for my path. i love you always. Dawn has made me a better person. She is the closest to a soulmate I have ever come, and I love her more than I can describe. ~Eire BIG LONG SIGH: dawn is my love, my light, my wounder, my joy, my friend, but best of all my sister... in my 13 years i can say that she has told me of maney things most resently is **that we all grow up, get old and and get lives but we will never forget** shes not that wide-eyed 10 year old i remember. she is a bright shiny eyed, wise ,BEAUTIFUL 18 year old how can do WHATEVER SHE WANTS. she has her own life and will never set foot in a school if she daw well doesn't want to. *HUGS TO LAST A YEAR* all miss her but i will never forget her. you all will miss her in your own way im sure but not anything like me... dawn i love you....whever you are proudly your sister teary eyed Heather P.S i miss you...kiss a pritty girl for me eh? Dawn is the first camper I met who I hadn't known for years before, She tought me a verry inportend lesson about camp: "No handshakes... HUGS". Dawn is one of Those People. Ok, perhaps I should explain. Dawn is one of a select few people whom I am certain I knew a long time before I met them.Maybe our trajectories crossed during the Big Bang, as our short but happy lives as deuterium atoms drew to a close. Dawn has a beautiful energy and peace about her.It's a peace that says not so much that she knows everything or controls her destiny, but that she knows and controls enough. When I'm around Dawn, I always feel calm and grounded. She is in touch with herself and with the universe around her. Thank you for hugs, advice, laughter, and truth. -Chris B... Dawn has this beautiful, warm, Green, tranquil yet excitable energy that envelopes anyone in close proximity to her. She's one of a rare breed of truly strong Earth women and I strive to be more like her. She and Mitchell are soo perfect together...: ) - KimW. A sweet empathetic gal, one who is wonderful to talk to no matter what mood you're in. And she is really cute!! -Erin Dawn is a child of the Goddess, bringer of light and a pillar of strength. Dawn is someone I remember walking through fields with as a child, and whom I hope to have as a friend all my life. Dawn is a person of beauty and joy, of much knowledge and great passion. - Christy intelligent, empathetic, caring, wise... she has a sense of humor about everything, and a very highly developed one, at that! she is much like the dawn in that when i'm around her, there is a new light and hope, no matter what the situation. one of my first NBTSC friends, i loved her from the moment she sent me the first 25-page letter! heehee. oh yeah, and she's a great writer ;-) -courtney Someone whom I want to know so much better. Who is a goddess girl who seems to understand everyone on some level. She's very empathetic to the point that it must be hard for her... something I totally relate to. She is beautiful and radiates. Yay. (~summer) Dawn writes the cutest, mushiest letters I have ever read. As well as cards. I wish she would visit me again too! I miss our bleary-eyed morning conversations over breakfast... I want to hug her, and she is too far away! Wah! She is a great person. Sebastion likes her, and that proves a lot. Fuzzhead Hey, Fuzzy stole mine! I was going to mention her wunnerful mushy cards! Bother. Oh well, there's lots that's cool about Dawn. Hmm, I think I know what I admire most about her. I like how she can get totally pissed off and rage and yet, it isn't...oh, offensive? It...oh, no words. She involves you in them, but only if you want to be involved...it doesn't control her, anger. That's it. I love her. - Robyn Dawnis increcible! So honest and inspiring and always having great ideas. She's warm and loving and mushy and I love her hugs! She writes the most amazing, vibrant, heartfelt letters, paints and draws cool, cool stuff. Whenever I'm feeling kind of down about unschooling (for any reason) I think of Dawn and get comforted and inspired. ~tessa I have little snippets of Dawn poetry and mushy letters and writings hung up all over my room, and I look at them when I am feeling depressed. I have had many cries on her shoulder. She doesn't let me get too serious about myself (once when I was complaining about writer's block she suggested I kill off all the characters in creative ways!). She is color and light and sheer presence. She is one of the people that just can't come into your life by accident. - Naela I am the person i finally wanted to Be. If this is a good thing or no, only time will tell. I am slowly learning to lesson in life that i am worthy of being loved. 15 billion years ago i was part of a star that exploded into space. -Dawn Dawn has a good aura that surrounds her. She loves dogs and knows that big, fuzzy sweatshirts are important. I don't know her that well, but it's enough to go on. - Sebastion Isle Dawn is enthusiastic and curious and brilliant and brimming with love and joy, and I have a little drawing she made on my wall and it makes me feel her shining unschooled spirit even thousands of miles away ~Jenny Dawn has interesting opinions to listen to and gives good advice. Every day she is becoming even more and more of a mature, wonderful woman. - Liam mmm...dawn...<gets a happy look on her face> dawn is beautiful like the desert when it just rained and the clouds cleared away and there is that wonderful "desert-after-a-rain" smell in the air, and the sun is about to set and the cactuses look melon-colored in the sun, and finding one of those perfect spots by a river bed with the soft green grass and playing playmobiles there... dawn is like the moon, when you wake up and can't figure out why and then realize that your bed is filled with light and it's from the moon...dawn is like letters and music and stories and poems. i haven't figured out a poem to write about her yet but when i do i will send it to her. i hope she's always there for me like she is now, and i for her. *kisses* *k*a*t*e* Well, now. . . . *does a little dance* Oh, lovely day! I got to meet Dawn at camp this year, and now can finally understand and fervently agree with all of the wonderful things I've heard about her. Dawn is. . . . inspiring. She's cheerful and grounded and has the coolest green-yellow hair, which I love. She gives wonderful hugs and listens when I talk, and doesn't actually believe me when she asks how I'm doing and I say, "Fine." Which is smart, because usually I'm not telling the truth. She's amazingly *real*, very balanced in her own self, it seems, and I love the feel of her presence and her joy. So, yeah. Beautiful, beautiful Dawn! -Amy I don't know what to say to you, Aurora. I never do. I just want to put something here, as an excuse or a marker, a token, because even though there's nothing new I can say to you, I can remind you. Remind you? Remind you of the things you know about me, and the things I know about you, and remind you that you're so rad. We've done some cool things together, yes? There were letters, rocks, and walks there, and the way our ~friendship seems to make its own future, and all the very strange things we've said to each other, about stuff (you know, stuff), and the hugs where we just stand there getting stiff and wondering what the other one thinks this hug is about (remember that time we were in the Cabin, working up into this really evil state, just sitting there getting more and more insane, and Shippy came in and was like "Woah, something deep is coming down here", and we're like "uh-huh", but none of us is really interfacing; we're just being in emotional nausea in the same place, stabilizing the whole falling-in-love-with-my-twin thing, and the we-can-really-put-each-other-in-weird-states-sometimes thing, and so on, and that hug that just kept going and going?) We really are an odd ~friendship, aren't we? We tend to sort of . . . I don't know, act like some compination of orbiting planets, silly-putty bouncy balls, and spinning magnets. And the wonder of it is we don't drive each other to suicide or worse, and so far we've even handled the whole falling-in-love-with-my-twin thing reasonably well, haven't we? So I don't know (I really don't), maybe I do have to say this: every single part of my life that you've affected has been so rad. I don't know anyone who actually dislikes you, and you're my girlfriend's, you know, twin thingy, and you do cool stuff for people, and you're brave as far down as I've seen, and you make good things happen. I don't know how you can stand the intensity of being you, but I'm glad someone can. There's nothing that can top this paragraph off, because you never stop doing rad things. Dawn is a super-duper pal. I have to say first that she writes some of the best damn letters I've ever received, complete with cool fonts, random collages, meaningful doodles, and mini cartoons. I actually wrote to her for awhile at least a year before I met her in person. She was on Reanna's list of unschoolers and I really liked what she wrote so I sent her an e-mail. That trailed off, (read: I neglected to write back) but I got to know her on the List. Then I went to camp. I arrived before most of the other campers, and I remember being dazedly escorted by her and Shippy, who hefted my bags and skipped off down the woodland path to show me to my cabin. I see in Dawn some of the most intense passion and appreciation for life and the world that I've ever met, and a commitment to living an unschooler life in the fullest sense of the word. She is exhilirating. I love her artwork & her sense of curiousity. She has a cute smile. And I love her sense of humor. Love,
Rosie
dawn is genuinely empathetic, but she also seems to know where her boundaries are, where she is dawn and the rest of the world can't intrude. she is open-minded, kind, very cool, and hell, she knows what a tree saturation point is. she better keep in touch with me or i'll go to ireland and whup her neon-headed butt. 10/7: witch baby again. just realized that even though i haven't hung out with dawn much, and just met her six weeks ago, i'm sad she's going away! have a good and educational time, dawn dear. Dawn has an amazingly strong personality. I feel like I could depend on her for anything. After hearing about her and reading her wiki posts all year, I'm so glad I finally met her at camp. -marina ) If any of you happen to feel like writing to RisingDawn, from November to May she will be living with these wonderful people (while she works at their farm)
