Additional Information: This quote by spoken word poet Sarah Kay is from her poem "B," which she also performed in her 2011 TED Talk about her journey to becoming a spoken word poet. The excerpt means that she wants her daughter (if she should have one) to observe everything closely and from a unique perspective, so that she can see all of the astounding things the human mind has to offer.
