Still kind of amazed by how much source text you need for something like =
this.
Five pages of text here that rewards with only one full name mesostic:

 	            reJoicing
	               sAndhyas sandhyas sandhyas
	       encoMpassing
 	              pEace
 	                Sanskrit samdbi

	             is Just
	    just abOut to
  about to rolYwholyover
	              aCts
	            thE


I=E2=80=99ve noticed some repetition
of words that happen from the end of one line
to the beginning of the next. I=E2=80=99ve noticed that it
seems to happen when there=E2=80=99s a punctuation mark
(noticeably, a comma) in the text near the mesostring.

I=E2=80=99ll have to look at this in more detail later when I have more =
time to
use some texts that have already been used (by Cage, for instance).
If you have the time, that=E2=80=99s what I would recommend you do to =
=E2=80=9Ctest=E2=80=9D
what you=E2=80=99ve done. I like it and I see possibilities! Keep on =
keeping on...

Off to make the kitty food=E2=80=A6
