     I raised my hands to begin, closing my eyes and feeling for the music. Then lowered my hands, ashamed. "I'm afraid." I say quietly, trying to ignore the soft startled gasps from those present.

     The french woman looks at me impatiently, as though I am using the moment for a dramatic lull of some sort. "Afraid. Afraid of what? Everyone here is accomplished in some form of the arts. We all share our abilities with one another. Please. Continue."

     I hear the nervous laughter come from my throat and flush slightly, knowing myself a fool for saying this.
