The ability to be selectively attentive, especially our bodies' abilities to do things with no conscious attention at all, may be one of the biggest miracles of all.
If I even try to think about all the muscles it takes just to type this, I get so overwhelmed that I find myself tripping up like the centipede who was asked how he manages to co-ordinate all his legs.
Right after seeing the exhibit, I was having trouble concentrating on a conversation because I kept thinking about the muscles needed to talk and found myself watching their face instead of actually listening. But I'm easily influenced that way.
OK, now I'm just using this comment to ramble and process random thoughts...
