While the exact origin of this quote is unclear, it is likely from one of his poetry collections or a personal reflection. McMillan's life has been marked by experiences of love, loss, and self-discovery, which have informed his writing and shaped his perspective on the human condition.\n\n**The Hidden Insight**\nThis quote reveals a profound paradox in the human experience: the need to let go of something beautiful in order to preserve its essence and ensure its continuation. The leaf, in this metaphor, represents the beauty and vitality that we often cling to, while the tree represents the enduring, often unseen, structure that allows for growth and renewal.\n\n**How to Use This**\nTo apply this mindset in your own life, recognize that sometimes the most loving and generous act is to release your attachment to something that has outlived its purpose. By letting go of the leaf, you allow the tree to continue growing and producing new life, just as the seed left behind holds the potential for future growth.",{"id":56,"quote_text":57,"author_id":5,"source_id":21,"has_image":22,"author":58,"source":59,"quote_tag":60,"commentary":9},606067,"oh love, doesn’t the fact that the world is so big,laid out like ripe fruitmake you want to stay?",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[61,64,69,74,79],{"id":62,"tag":63},3182708,{"id":13,"tag_name":14},{"id":65,"tag":66},3182711,{"id":67,"tag_name":68},401,"world",{"id":70,"tag":71},3182706,{"id":72,"tag_name":73},4243,"big",{"id":75,"tag":76},3182710,{"id":77,"tag_name":78},7693,"stay",{"id":80,"tag":81},3182707,{"id":82,"tag_name":83},8667,"fruit",{"id":85,"quote_text":86,"author_id":5,"source_id":21,"has_image":22,"author":87,"source":88,"quote_tag":89,"commentary":9},558672,"they say we’re losing centimetresevery year; as if we werea beach that’s losingground with every salt advancethe night is overcastbut why not try, at least,to touch the things our orbitscannot hold, while there’s timewhile we can.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[90,95,100],{"id":91,"tag":92},3017423,{"id":93,"tag_name":94},1643,"loss",{"id":96,"tag":97},3017424,{"id":98,"tag_name":99},2952,"touch",{"id":101,"tag":102},3017426,{"id":103,"tag_name":104},4415,"try",{"id":106,"quote_text":107,"author_id":5,"source_id":21,"has_image":22,"author":108,"source":109,"quote_tag":110,"commentary":9},541100,"he looks the waysilence looks before it’s broken",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[111,116],{"id":112,"tag":113},2948149,{"id":114,"tag_name":115},2646,"silence",{"id":117,"tag":118},2948148,{"id":119,"tag_name":120},22190,"gaze",{"id":122,"quote_text":123,"author_id":5,"source_id":21,"has_image":22,"author":124,"source":125,"quote_tag":126,"commentary":9},426180,"loveis giving everything too easilythen staying to try and claw it back",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[127,130,135,140],{"id":128,"tag":129},2453969,{"id":13,"tag_name":14},{"id":131,"tag":132},2453970,{"id":133,"tag_name":134},51,"poetry",{"id":136,"tag":137},2453971,{"id":138,"tag_name":139},101,"relationships",{"id":141,"tag":142},2453966,{"id":143,"tag_name":144},1246,"heartbreak",{"id":146,"quote_text":147,"author_id":5,"source_id":21,"has_image":22,"author":148,"source":149,"quote_tag":150,"commentary":9},260428,"Finallya day will come whenwoken by the xylophoneof sunthroughblindsyou’ll realisethat the beach was not the placewhere horses tore the sandto ribbonthat the scent of him has liftedfrom the last of the sheetsthat he isn’t coming backthat it hasn’t rainedbut the birds are pretending that it hasso they can sing",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[151,154,159,162,167],{"id":152,"tag":153},1608206,{"id":13,"tag_name":14},{"id":155,"tag":156},1608209,{"id":157,"tag_name":158},380,"regret",{"id":160,"tag":161},1608205,{"id":93,"tag_name":94},{"id":163,"tag":164},1608207,{"id":165,"tag_name":166},2189,"memory",{"id":168,"tag":169},1608208,{"id":170,"tag_name":171},2747,"realization",{"id":173,"quote_text":174,"author_id":5,"source_id":21,"has_image":22,"author":175,"source":176,"quote_tag":177,"commentary":9},60215,"Being one’s true and honest self can often be dangerous; and poetry should always be a place where, if only between the pages, that danger and energy and fear and excitement and love can fizz and spark without ever threatening to burn something down.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[178,181,186,189,194,199,204,209,214,219,224,229],{"id":179,"tag":180},417731,{"id":13,"tag_name":14},{"id":182,"tag":183},417741,{"id":184,"tag_name":185},33,"self",{"id":187,"tag":188},417732,{"id":133,"tag_name":134},{"id":190,"tag":191},417727,{"id":192,"tag_name":193},191,"fear",{"id":195,"tag":196},417747,{"id":197,"tag_name":198},400,"true",{"id":200,"tag":201},417730,{"id":202,"tag_name":203},673,"honest",{"id":205,"tag":206},417726,{"id":207,"tag_name":208},1015,"excitement",{"id":210,"tag":211},417725,{"id":212,"tag_name":213},1263,"energy",{"id":215,"tag":216},417724,{"id":217,"tag_name":218},1577,"dangerous",{"id":220,"tag":221},417723,{"id":222,"tag_name":223},4343,"burn",{"id":225,"tag":226},417742,{"id":227,"tag_name":228},6017,"spark",{"id":230,"tag":231},417746,{"id":232,"tag_name":233},43912,"threatening",{"currentPage":235,"totalPages":235,"totalItems":8,"itemsPerPage":236},1,10]
