There is a book “Discoveries In Chiasmus” by Yvonne Bent and Scott L. Vanatter that is very good. This book covers patterns repeated that are found in everything. (math, the atom, words, science- everything)

Thanks, Marilin! I loved collaborating with Yvonne. Both at the conference she hosted and the book we put together (post-conference). Glad you enjoyed it. Scott V.

Scott,
I had an insight this passed few days. Please check the Jewish Hallel. Psalms 113-118. It is recited 3 times a year in Jewish ceremonies. Hallel means Praise and I think it repeats the Davidic structure 2 times. Please send me a copy of the book. Maybe it is in it already.
