Joan Sutherland in the current issue of Buddhadharma magazine writes about how koan practice grew out of 8th century China during a period of deep troubles. I highly recommend the article.
She writes, "Practice is about making us fetchable. It helps us to recognize what gets in the way of our being fetched, and then gives us a method to deconstruct the obstacle."
What a great, beautiful and challenging goal - to become fetchable. Being open to being fetched by all around us, without judgements, concepts, fears, hopes, etc. Go for it.
