Lexus Commercial

Have you seen the commercial on HGTV? It's of this guy driving a Lexus down a straight highway in the middle of the desert. He's in his shirt sleeves, windows rolled down and zipping along. All of a sudden, time slows and he is so in the moment of enjoying his Lexus. Time stretches and expands and all is well in his world until... he thinks of what to have for dinner that time!!! And then boom, time speeds up again and he is zipping along in his car.

It struck me the other night that is what I have articulated in some earlier posts... the idea that if we live in the moment, in the now, that time can expand and stretch and seem to slow down. But if we get stuck in reliving the past or expecting the future, that time can speed up and seem to zoom by... Lexus seems to have had the same idea. I just  found it interesting that a car commercial of all things would be able to incorporate quantum physics and the notion of time in such an engaging way!
