The amazing thing about the human body is it has 100 trillion cells and 90% of them are not
human cells. They’re fungi and bacteria, microorganisms … the thing that makes us human is
not human. So within us is, basically, the back story of life on earth right to that first original
cell 40 million centuries ago, and if you could, for a moment, stop and feel what is happening in
your body, there are 6 septillion things going on at the same time – that’s a 6 with 24 zeroes
after it – going on, right this instant as you sit in your chair and then in the next instant.
Within 10 seconds, 100 more things have happened than in all the stars and planets and
asteroids in the known universe, in your body. And that is called life.
