i've poeticized a prose intro. to a news story

LOVE FOR SALE Their stories came out slowly, even hesitantly, at first. Then in a rush.

One female entrepreneur recounted how she had been propositioned  by a Silicon Valley venture capitalist while seeking a job with  him,  which she did not land after rebuffing  him. Another  showed the increasingly suggestive messages she had received from a start-up investor.  And one chief executive described  how she had faced numerous sexist comments from an investor while raising money  for her online community website.

What happened afterward was often just as disturbing, the women told The New York Times. Many times, the investors’ firms and colleagues  ignored or played down what had happened  when            the                 situations                                  were                                            brought                                                          to                                                                                               their                                                                       attention.

The consequence of this feminist scale of values is a terrible and unjust devaluation of women who work at home.

there's always that first step

The first degree of humility tells us that the world is not a mirror in which we see ourselves, nor is it a treasure chest filled with gifts for ourselves. Rather, the world is a temporary home where there unfolds hour by hour the truth that God loves us and that we are to live constantly with the awareness that he lives with us and sees us always.

– Father Simon O’Donnell, O.S.B.
