Sometimes when I sit¹ or when I'm looking at the trees as we drive by them, I tell myself "it's all here" and this mind of mine seems brighter and more at-ease in response.

¹ By this I mean, at the beginning of sitting I'll tell myself this and that helps me to settle right into the seat.

I started doing something very similar as you instead of overly focusing on breath, and this "this is it" attitude helps to settle more easily and let go more easily (there's no any special concentration point to be reached).
There's magic in trees - long before discovering meditation I used to just look at them for endless time, perfectly content with the act of watching light reflections and movement of leaves.

Maybe the whole world is condemned to these three little words and when nothing else-- try what every mother knows at time of baby's birth, what every real father says of the mother, what every teacher says of their students, what every true doctor, committed therapist, and devoted social worker believes of their patients, what every grandmother knows of their grandchild, maybe this is all we really have, "I love you."

This reminds me of certain texts, from certain source, which always end with : "Teach only love."

Sometimes I get the feeling that sitting allows the individual to become unified with the vast potential of superposition, where we exist in many states simultaneously. It's only when the mind starts separating and discriminating that these positions collapse into the reality (holographic or not) that we experience. I love that the current understanding of the nature of reality compliments Zen so well.

I find this to be the most difficult teaching to understand or accept. But it's ok though, beacuse that moment in the future when I will finally understand and accept it is not other than Now! Right?

That is exactly right. It is now, although it is then too.
