Life is a series of tiny miracles

This is a Post-It on my computer monitor at work. Life really is a series of tiny miracles. The process it takes to create ten fingers and ten toes is insane! Can you imagine how many chemical reactions have to occur at the proper moment in order to make a little person? A ball of eight cells divides correctly each time, replicates correctly each time, and differentiates into the correct type of cell at the correct time.

How does everything come together to this, to today? Thousands upon thousands of teeny, tiny miracles.
