The mention of the prayer cycle and it governing your reading is tantalising, as is the notion of a week of the cycle being "dedicated to the summer between high school and college". Obviously this may be getting into private stuff so no pressure at all, but I find this really interesting and would love to hear more about it.

Ha, there is no real story about that summer--it just stands out for me as a moment when I more or less realized I was pausing on a threshold, which is unusual in life. Usually we only realize the threshold even existed once we're on the other side, whereas I did feel that summer as a "no longer, and not yet" moment in between high school and college.

I wrote about the prayer/reading cycle more generally here: https://evetushnet.substack.com/p/the-ballad-of-reading-goals
