In case you were wondering....

about the previous post, it's called a nested meditation. It is usually done in a spontaneous way where you start the first line, perhaps a thought or idea and then repeat it adding a second line, repeat again with both lines then add a third and so on. I suppose you could add as many as you want though that would be tedious after a while. It is an interesting excercise. You never know what might come out of your head.

This can be done as a poetic excercise or a prayer/meditation type excercise, for instance you might take a short line from the Bible (or other books of scripture), perhaps Jesus saying...."Blessed are the meek" and run with that for awhile and see what insights might come. There are, of course, variations on this idea which I may elaborate on in the future if anyone is interested. Or maybe, even if you're not!
