Well what a lot of posts
Things that have been said that resonate with me:
In other words, to state that zazen has a definite and particular form, and to cling to that position leads to one kind of trouble, while stating that zazen has no particular form sends one off in another confused direction. There is no logical resolution to this problem. And it is this illogical paradox with which a true practitioner of Zen must 'sit', both literally and spiritually.
if we become clinging to the posture, is just like you're clinging to the finger which is pointing the moon, then you won't see the moon clearly
3. Action: The action of Zazen realizes the whole universe.
Language is inherently slippery. When we understand that, I think it helps because then all words becomes a bit of a koan--breaking down the belief that logic and intellect can ever lead to a complete understanding of anything.

They allow me to orientate myself exactly in anatomy, procedure, experience, cost etc etc. But in this relatively new world I find myself in, I can see that things are not so sure-cut. I think I will just go sit .
Thank you all for taking the time to explain your views of all this.
Kind regards
