Just say hi..and a poem

Post here if you are just starting out with your mindfulness practice. Mindfulness is a really difficult concept to get your head around at first, and it might be that you would benefit from some help from others.

Hello there,

I just found my way to this forum and wanted to say hi to the existing population :)
I'm looking forward to get to know you and to learn from you and your experiences.
I meditate since maybe 3 years or so and so far I practiced without a 'community' .
Still I got to know some inspiring people on that way, (of which this forum is full I guess :D )
and one of them just recently sent me a wonderful poem from Oriah Mountain Dreamer named "The invitation"
which I want to share with you as a "welcome souvenir" (Maybe some of you already know it). ..
Since AI'm not allowed to send URl, mybe you search for it on your own, I can tell you: It's worth it and I hope you enjoy this poem as much as I did. A line that really got me:

I want to know if you can sit with pain
mine or your own
without moving to hide it
or fade it
or fix it.

So.. in that sense: Just be, and enjoy your time :)

Greetings from Germany,
Kathy
