One morning when Dawn was nine years old, she looked out the cabin window at
sunrise. A movement among the cedars across the draw caught her eye. A mountain
lion! Excited, she called to her mother and father to come see. The lion moved
stealthily, the tip of his long tail swishing back and forth as he stalked along
the draw’s rim, looking down into its depths as if looking for some unwary deer
to pounce on. Finally, the lion disappeared behind boulders and didn’t show
himself again.

After school that afternoon, Dawn went down to the draw to play. She found,
squished deep into the muddy stream banks, the large round tracks of the
mountain lion. She followed them. Her father had said the day before that
mountain lions are shy and avoid people. (At that time, no reliable accounts of
mountain lion attacks had been reported.) So, Dawn wasn’t afraid as she followed
the lion’s tracks downstream. But she had a strange, powerful feeling that,
because she didn’t know where the lion was, he was everywhere -- behind every
tree, atop every boulder, in every little cave among the cliffs, in the very air
that she breathed. Above the roar and rush of the snowmelt-flooded creek, she
heard a voice calling her name. Mother had come to fetch her home.
Even now, Dawn feels the presence of the mountain lion of her childhood, as if
in the draw that day she had breathed some of its spirit into her own pores and
dreams. It frequently reappears in her art and writings.

A pair of mountain lions has for many years lived in the area, raising a litter
of kittens every year. Though seldom seen, the adults sometimes send their
spine-tingling screams through the secret recesses of a canyon. Now and then,
Dawn crosses their trails through the snow as the youngsters search for prey and
for their own territories.

"I don't like Dawn's
drawings, I worship them and feel great pride and much humility
that my poems struck such searing fire in her creative woodlands. I can
say only 'Bless her!', for sharing in my dreams, and working them into
reality." - Poet Virginia Love Long, author of the book Squaw Winter
