and on the day
that a royal prince was born
a baby sister was born
and our butterfly babies were born
each arrival was nothing less than spectacular.
—
“birth is the sudden opening of a window,
through which you look out upon a stupendous prospect.
for what has happened?
a miracle.
you have exchanged nothing for the possibility of everything.”
I didn't have my glasses on.... 
Thank you for the possibility of everything, beth.

Each one is special, but I’m sure the baby sister and butterflies meant more to your students.

Lovely words to show that though the birth of a royal son is good news, there are other happenings in the world that are just as good.

If each of us reflected more on the miracle of birth…and life… the “big” things in life wouldn’t matter so much (material wealth, what we “have”) and the small things (like butterflies) would matter more!
