Falling Leaf

I read recently something. It went kind of like this. If you catch a falling leaf before it hits the ground, you hold in your hand a miracle! This leaf was born and died without ever touching the Earth. I have to imagine there are not many cycles of birth to death which can claim this? That in itself is a miracle. Catching a falling leaf before it hits the ground is equally miraculous. To do so is not as easy as you would think. 

There is something more to this. What do you think?
