Many years ago (early seventies), I saw a movie that confirmed my intuition that our conventional notion of reality was flawed, that our first connection with "the world" was utterly subjective, first and foremost, and that the (so-called) "objective reality" was only one interpretation of the original experience, and not the best available one at that.
That movie was "Slaughterhouse-Five," and Billy Pilgrim's time-tripping was a lot closer to the way my mind worked (works!) than the linear unfolding of "stuff" we are so inclined to accept as "normal."
There have been many movies since trying to create those amazing "time-flips" Slaughterhouse-Five accomplished so brilliantly, but as is so often the case, nothing comes close to the original.
For decades, each time I heard the third movement (Allegro) of Bach's 3rd keyboard concerto, especially if performed by Glenn Gould, I joined Billy Pilgrim on his journey.
So this sketch, done with/for the music, with no intention to even suggest Slaughterhouse-Five, is a meagre tribute to a lot of people and events, a tribute to those moments in which, by which, life is revealed as being truly worth living.
May they all continue to live indefinitely.
