Technology presumes there’s just one right way to do things and there never is. And when you presume there’s just one right way to do things, of course the instructions begin and end exclusively with the rotisserie.

That’s why you need the peace of mind.

in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.

Nothing can disturb your peace of mind unless you allow it to.

KEY OF LIFE

The key of life
Symbolizes the map
Of existence.
Once you free yourself
From all resistance,
Your path will become white -
For the remainder of the distance.
