"
If the eyes are the window to the soul,
Than the face is the house 
And the door is the mouth. 
...
Letting in our out, 
whatever the proprietor sees fit.
...
The eyes tell a lot, 
where they go
And where they land.
...
Whether they rest in the corner,
spying without subtlety, 
Or they fall to the ground 
With the coinciding and subsequent frown 
...
The face tells more, 
A relaxed jaw indicates trust
Without intent or concern.
A bitten jaw reflects suppressed fury. 
A swallowing of words better left unsaid.
...
A smile can be deceiving
For it is not necessarily rooted in truth.
And if the plastic smile 
Reaches to the crows feet,
You know you are looking at an accustomed liar.
Caught in the brambles and briars 
Of a mind with unjustifiable priors.
...
The key to a happy head
And a happy life
Lies in Honesty
And despite inherent gullibility,
Is rooted in Honor
...
Breathe deep
Let your face be read
Reflect on the choices and the motives
Discern for one's self between right and wrong
And move
With the best foot forward
...
Breathe deep
While you still have lungs to do so
...
And be merry
While you still have a heart
That can.
...
We all only live once after all
So drink carpe diem
And exhale action.
...
In sound mind
And kind heart,
A practice in and of itself
That reflects a natural
Buddhist
Martial art.
...
Compassion
...

Everyone should read this! I love the message! It's very well written. I hate to quote a favorite part because I love the entire message but if I had to I'd say it was..."we all only live once after all
So drink carpe deim and exhale action"
