The Ravens Circle

A Lokean Devotional Vignette

The ravens circle, laughing, cackling.
I break into tears, joy on my lips.

Loki, tall behind me.

“You are okay,” he says.

“I don’t feel like I am.”

“You are.”

I can hear his smile.

Play With Me

A Lokean Devotional Vignette

“I don’t want to! I don’t want to feel all this pain!”

“Okay. But can you feel the good without running away?” Loki asks.

His eyes are wide, madness in them, inviting me to play with him instead of against him.

Chaos Wakes Me

A Lokean Devotional Vignette

Chaos wakes me. As the confusion clears and settles, I sit wondering what that was all about.

“You wanted the sunrise?” Loki asks.

The night before, I’d whispered, “I don’t have any pictures of the sunrise. They’re all sunsets.”

I scramble out of bed, pull on my shoes, and hurry out the front door with a big grin.

Happy.
