I seem to be doing a very good job of having a Fire imbalance without 
caffeine etc., thank you very much. :) I'm pretty "straight" except 
for the huge problem of being a thought-addict.

I would look into tai chi, Rawn, except that I'm living in an area of 
the country that is, as a friend put it, on the "trailing edge of 
consciousness."

But being receptive in general, and turning my awareness to my 
artistic side, is definitely a big weakness. I'm too analytical. 
Just being present is difficult. Emptiness practice is helping but I 
need to let it leak over into everyday life too.

Thanks for the advice,
David
