Funny...after all this time, I finally just came to the realization that zazen practice is merely about sitting with nothing but yourself for company, which forces you to deal with yourself. The practice part comes in with having to learn to force yourself to sit there for longer periods of time, with nothing to distract you from you.
Whoa.
Whoa.

A good point. Maybe indeed thats what makes it scary. Me, Im usually too impatient with myself- hence I dont sit in zazen often at all. The couple of times that I actually made it past the "gawd I cant bloody concentrate" state were amazing though. But usually I find that the form of meditation that suits me best is a physical one- the budo arts work very well.
