"In the privacy and the intimacy of your silent meditation, allow all to fall away as it will and sit with that which is left until it, too, falls away. And then sit with that which is left until it, too, falls away. Repeat this process until when you sit, you simply sit."

"Repeat this process until when you sit, you simply sit." haha very clever the elegance in simplicity!
Ha, very zen that one !
Reminds me of that old buddhist story:
"Someone asked a Zen Master, "How do you practice Zen?"
The master said, "When you are hungry, eat; when you are tired, sleep."
"Isn't that what everyone does anyway?"
The master replied, "No, No. Most people entertains a thousand desires when they eat and scheme over a thousand plans when they sleep."
or as a consequence, to drag the sitting even further, that lovely haiku:
"the thunderstorms have stopped
the last clouds have gone
we sit, the old mountain and I
until only the mountain remains"
