Vulnerablity in Art

When I go to the district candidates committee in a week or so, part of the ongoing discernment process, I have to give a creative presentation. You can choose to do anything you like on the given topic - as long as it is creative. This limits it somewhat for me; the only creative gift I would be willing to share with the world is poetry.

Now I know I sometimes share poetry on here - but that is my choice to do so. The poems I put up are those I choose to write on topics I want or need to get out of my head - they are not things that I force out of me. Public performance of my poetry is a new experience and I do feel vulnerable.
