Dear Barry,

Thank you for your enthousiasm. Your reply indicates for me that a slight
change of view could held in a better feeling.

Yes, the risk of this list is that reading time consumes thinking time :-)

That is beautifully said!

Barry, I think you realise that balancing these three centres (emotional,
intellectual en physical) implies also the environment, the surroundings.

And that is for me a most important side effect of 'balancing': one will
get an eye for wholeness.
