Brian, sounds like a great name for a band: Accidental Mitochondria.
But on a more serious note, it really shows how random life’s events can be for better or for worse. If one path or turn is not taken, everything changes and we are in an alternate universe and life. That does not mean we should be paralyzed by taking an action or inaction, but simply go with it and ride the wave as far it will take us.
That is is beauty and mystery of life. Unfortunately it is also the tragedy of life. But if we accept and embrace it, we will never be bored.
It seems that variation over a long time, or variation over a large number (of configurations) at once, will drive improbable events to almost certainty (based on the ideas of Stuart Kauffman). The realization of highly improbable events seems to depend on how many different lottery tickets you buy or how long you play it.
Perhaps the same process enabled me to stumble on the "Garden"!

It is a beautiful contemplation - the accidental mitochondria.
