"A Warrior...




 
... accepts that we can never know
what will happen to us next"


Say this to yourself...


Several times...


Notice how it feels in your body...


BREATHE... 


BREATHE... 


BREATHE...











PS:   Dorli Rainey, the grandmother who was maced by members of the Seattle Police Department, is a long time activist, former schoolteacher, and school board member who has become the face of the Occupy movement by virtue of one picture and a life of activism
 
Born in Austria, Rainey came to the U.S. in 1956 following her work as a technical translator in the U.S. Army in Europe. She describes herself as an "all-around troublemaker."
 
"I believe change begins in the streets, and all citizens have the power to make a difference," she writes in her blog. "Together we can make our voices heard in the ivory towers of government”. 
 
In addition to supporting Occupy Seattle, she is a member of Women in the Black an international network who "stand in silent vigil, calling for peace, justice and non-violent solutions to conflict." 
 
Rainey has been called "a role model among activists that walks the walk."
