Emma Azelborn 2023
"My friend Penny Gale posted about learning to stay in the moment and be authentic about who you are, and letting things go which are outside your control. Amidst posts about coming out, discovering who you are at any stage of life, and general turmoil in the world, her post was a light of inspiration and hope for me. She ended with these words which evolved into the chorus of Toss the Bones: 'So toss the bones high. They'll fall where they fall. I'll shrug, and dance while they spin. That's all one can do.'"

You’ve been afraid for far too long
So hidden away So scared of a change and what could go wrong
Chorus:
Toss the bones high
Be steady and small
And dance while they spin in the sky
They’ll fall where they fall
The truth will grow so hard to hide And every time
You build on the lies will eat you alive
Your stem could be cut, your leaves could wilt Discarded aside
So suddenly dry yet drowning in guilt
But roots could expand so solid and deep Your branches could grow
Supported by those whose hearts you keep
Whatever may come your strength will hold Stop hiding away
You’re ready for change, go out and be bold
