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
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)
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
