About Dawn
My name is Dawn. I grew up in the polyglot, bustling borough of Queens, New York, and now live in the Twin Cities, Minnesota / Mni Sota Makoce - Homeland of the Dakota. I am a third-generation Chinese American, granddaughter of a paper son who immigrated to the United States during the Chinese Exclusion Act era. I am a lapsed Catholic but, after many years of inner work, now a reformed believer in the gospel of grace and love.
I am curious about many things such as dreams, the natural & spiritual world, poetry as prayer, haiga, religious iconography, the magic of illuminated manuscripts, saints, typography, calligraphy, collective liberation, environmental protections/reciprocity, chosen family, Bazi astrology, origami and much much more. I have an affinity for pigeons, snails and all kinds of marine animals. Swimming, bicycling and outdoor walks are key to my sanity.
