Landscape.

Foreshorten the horizons, fence the days, restrict the hours, erect deadline, add punctuality, alarm clocks and speed -– enclose the commons of time, in other word -– and people will feel pressured, even if they know how to live in a clock-driven world.  But, imagine time as a landscape: long hills of open afternoons, unfenced horizons of hours, the vast and immaculate freedom of time which, until so very recently, all of humanity knew. 

Jay Griffiths, from A Country Called Childhood

One of the most important books I've ever read.
