What is Zen?

I’m sure you guys can relate to this problem I’m having. As a student of Zen, curious family and friends tend to ask “What is Zen?” whenever it comes up in conversation. I never really know how to respond, knowing that what Zen is can never be contained in words or a statement. I don’t really want to say anything too abstract either as then they wouldn’t understand in the slightest. In your guys opinion, what’s the best response to the question, “What is Zen?”. One that’s accessible to most, while also putting a fairly accurate conception of Zen experience and practice in the mind of the questioner. Thanks for the help!
