Interesting thread.
I have coined a phrase after reading the words written - Clikantaza.
There is no difference in how we sit, to how we see. None! In labelling one way 'zen' and another 'not-zen' we become blinded by our desire to define. Our precepts point to this.
Try and separate good zazen and bad zazen - is it in the sitting or a tourniquet of thought?
I travelled the trail of this is good/this is not, she is good/he is not many years ago and eventually returned to the point of departure carrying a bag full of baloney. Comparison cripples creativity and mimicry mars the mind, the question becomes - how do we learn/grow? How do we express our being so that others feel your 'youniverse' at once individual and universal at the same time. Very few creators can achieve this feat, a handful at most.
If we follow the guidelines set before us to sit then we see before us the wisdom to see and ultimately to be.

Hi Kirk,
What a trip back in time for me. Back in the 90's when I was in college, I attended to a Zen art conference and these concepts you share with us today, marked my life in many ways. As a matter of fact, my blog began as a way to express these teachings.
Since then, all I design, write and how I lead my life, has to do with the principles. I wish I had some samples of what I used to do back then.
Here is a little photo I took a while ago...
Thank you for sharing.
Gassho,
