Zen: Be the Pen

Was watching a documentary on youtube called "The Seven Wonders of the Bhuddist world" done by bbc broadcasting. A great documentary on the most prominent constructions of religous significance of the Asain Nations.
Within the video there was tons of explaination and commentary as to the history and nature of bhuddism and what exactly bhuddism teaches.
Me, being a great enthusiast for religons, and religous discussion, devoured the conversation in the docmentary with every once of my small ordinary medula, oblongata.
In addition to my interest in all religion(because of its function to serve as a long standing structure to support morality in any given civilization), i also in particular, have a special interest for bhuddism. The religion of peace, hailing from the reaches of the eastern empires of Asia, having been taken in and adopted by at least 3 different races of the world and by millions of people.
Its interesting to me.
And it being interesting, i have researched in the past many times, what it is that bhuddist beleive and worship. But ive found during the times of research, that alot of the bhuddist teaching, particular inner details of it, can be kindve hard to grasp in consceptionality.
One concept in particular was very fuzzy to me, whenever i went about reading the Toa-te ching(toaism but similar to bhuddism) The bvadda gita, and books written by various Lamas.
And that concept was the concept of: Zen
Ive heard the term used my entire life, but ive never really known exactly what it meant. I just got the vauge description of "oh it means peaceful" and kindve just shrugged my shoulders and been like "ok, ot just means peace" and left that at that. But from the readings that i gathered in the Lama books i read, and other bhuddisy related materials, i knew that the concept of zen held a different mechanism in it than that of just meaning peace.  And then, here now recently i watched this video and my suspicion was confirmed.
About three quarters of the way through with this documentary, the host of the show interveiwed a bald nerdy looking she-monk. A very nice lady, who sat down with the host of the show to discuss the concept of zen.
This is what she said...
Zen - "When things inside ourselves," (she held out one hand with fingers extended) > "and the things outside ourselves(she held out another hand with fingers extended) become one." After she said becoming one she brought both hands together, making a clapping noise.
Then with both hands clasped together, she shook them around abit with a smile on her face and said "That is what Zen is"
And after that, with the lady monk smiling a cheesy smile to the host of the broadcast, i think i had a minor eureka moment, and understood what it is they were trying to say when they said to meditate and obtain your: zen
To empty yourself of sensory thinking, and become one with the inobjectivity of nature.  Things that are in creation, but not of biological orgin. That, was a meditation of Zen.
And me running into this explaination and having this eureka moment was something of great timing as well. For the past months i have been developing ways of calming myself when i get to rattled or upset at the crazy comings and goings of life in my city. In the month before i watched this video I' had been staring at inanimate objects every now and then.
Whenever i need to be at peace with something. Ill pick any random inanimate object around me.. and consider myself to be that object. Whatever it is. Whether it be a Pen, or a paperweight. Or a chair, or a broom. A fire hydrant, a stop sign, a rock on the ground, or even a empty space air itself.  I pick out a certain thing and pretend that i am actually that random inanimate thing.
Little did i know, that this practice of thought, was an act of Zen meditation.
Now that i have watched the video, and aligned with the meaning explained to me.. i have worked out a seamless method of meditation.
A method of convincing myself that i am a pen, or a firehydrant.
 And it is just this: If the rest of the world/solar system/galaxy is "not" cognitive and feeling.
Why should i be?
There is so much that is not feeling or seeing or hearing or expiriencing in the universe.. That is still of the universe.
Surely i have just as much a place besides all those other inanimate creations of god as i do as a random bit of sensitive mass of biological tissue.
I mean, Me? a human being? It is so odd.. i might have well be a Pen... or a Rock, or a chair.
 I probly have more right being a Pen, than i actually have being a human.
So my thought is this - Just for a second, let me fulfill my rightful debts to the universes abicus of chances... let me stand in for a second on this earth.. as a Pen.
I stand around for a good half a minute.. or a little over a half a minute. Considering myself a pen. And for a good half a minute, i am thoughtless. Emotionless.
Still as the undisturbed ground itself.
Silent as well as still. Betwixt my living thinking feeling matter, a perception of a inanimate nothing, i exist for a half a minute. Thinking nothing. Feeling nothing. Existing as Nothing. Expiriencing as nothing.
Just as i am existing. I am not existing.
And i feel better for it. Like i have completed some natural circle in myself of cosmic elements that exist in the vast kingdom of creation. Just one of the millions of sensless rock formations that fill the cosmos.. floating around in a sensless droplet of water. Everything complete just as all creation anywherr in the universe.
What something could ever claim to be better made than the rest of miraculous creation which is made of nothing?
Anyways, thats the thought. That is my Zen Meditation. Maybe you like it, and maybe you'll consider yourself on some troubling day in your life, a pen, or a rock, or a empty space of air.
I for one think i have found it to be the balancing factor in my yin-yang equation.
And Who knows? maybe ill come up better for it..
