In āThe Queen of Versailles,ā Kristin Chenoweth Canāt Get Enough
Material excess can never be too excessive for the central character of this gilded Broadway musical, based on the 2012 film.

wasn't this suppose to be home?
parents and their kids have issues
from yelling to hitting to leaving to drugs
well thats my life
always yelling, being hit, always leaving, on drugs to much
its not going to change
my life isn't worth much anymore
it never was actually...
i told my dad he's a fucking prick
his reaction...
he threw a glass ashtray at me
thats ok though;
being on all sorts of pills
no pain what so ever
my dad will get it back
all the stuff he's put me through
his time will come
i will not say though
it will just happen
for now
im packing up
and going home once again
but it wont change much
just wont have to put up with dad
everything else will be the same
I wish that you could hold me in your arms. Ā
Hold me close to you where I can escape from the pain.
I wish that you could comfort me and make me feel at ease. Ā
I wish that you were here now. Ā You did this to me. Ā
Why wonāt you fix it? I wish you would fix it. Ā
I wish you would mend my broken heart. Ā
Just put the pieces back together. Ā
I wish I knew what youāre thinking. How youāre feeling. Ā
I wish you were here to talk to me. Ā To give me advice and listen.
I wish I could pour my heart out to you. I wish I could cry on you shoulder and not have to fight the tears back.
Knowing that you wonāt attempt to dry them at all.
That you would let them all slip from my soul until I drowned.
I wish that you could make me stop crying or at least try.
I wish you never made me cry in the first place. Ā
I wish that I could feel your heart beating.
Your head resting on mine. Your arms tightly holding onto me as if you never want me to leave.
I wish I could have that feeling back one more time. Ā
Just one more time with you to show you how I feel.
To have that feeling that words canāt even come close to describing.
I think I love you but it is too late. Ā
Youāre gone and now I want you more than ever. Ā
I wish you were mine to hold. Ā I wish that you knew.
When we gather, we often make the mistake of merging category with purpose. We outsource our decisions and our assumptions about our gatherings to people, formats, and contexts that are not our own.
We get caught into the false belief that knowing the category of the gatheringāthe board meeting, workshop, birthday party, town hallāwill be instructive to designing it. But we often choose the templateāand the activities and structure that go along with itābefore weāre clear on our purpose.
- Past progress as a one-time event misses how much of progress is incremental. A breakthrough never occurs in isolation but is the product of many little discoveries, often meaningless by themselves, that someone links together.
- Assuming that big current problems will prevent future progress. This misses that most progress feeds off big current issues.
- In real-time, it nearly always looks like progress over the previous decade has stalled, seeming to confirm that we've reached the limit of our innovation. This is because it often takes a decade or more for breakthroughs to be noticed. We will only recognize the best work of the last decade in the years to come.
Lovely young lasses
With empty beer glasses
Serving throughout the bar.
Their sashay of asses
Deftly avoiding the masses.
Young men thinking they'll get far.
A mind on chemistry classes,
Inert and noble gasses,
This one has a full jar.
With a hair flip she sasses,
Another man she passes,
Her dreams upon a farther star.
āWriting is hard work. A clear sentence is no accident. Very few sentences come out right the first time, or even the third time. Remember this in moments of despair. If you find that writing is hard, itās because it is hard.ā
