Beginning note: I don't own Spirited Away, I'm not making any money off it, and this is all for the funzys.
Ablution - A ceremonial act of washing parts of the body or sacred containers
Animation
Bringing paint smeared fingers toward the stone, Chihiro began to try and capture the animation of movement, the thrill of life in its most natural state. Relying on the knowledge of her talent and the idea of pure imagination, she allowed herself to become lost in the act of creating.
To stop thinking about the technical aspects of painting and just feel.
Time seemed to stop moving around her, or didn't at all matter as she sat before the stone, fingers flying across it in movements that were far to swift for making an image of beauty, but seemed to anyway. Colors swirled and mixed and mingled as she captured more of their essence to spread across the canvas. Unaware or uncaring of the mess that seemed to cover her. Not paint, but bits of moss and clay that fell into her lap, petals that tangled in her hair, dirt that smeared her cheeks.
"What will you call this piece, little one?" A rumbling voice asked from somewhere behind her, bringing forward an age-spotted hand to trace the outline of her masterpiece. And as those fingertips trailed across it, the outline faded, warping to fly off the canvas and spring into movement, flowing around her to touch down onto the real world and build upon itself.
She closed her eyes and raised her face to the sky, breathing deep the smell of ozone and rain before a smile bloomed across her lips, peaceful and serene.
"Nothing. Because life doesn't need labels to live, it only needs the opportunity."
Note: Hey, Sorry I've not been updating. My new job has been consuming my soul; Only reason I had the opportunity to today was that the medication I got from the ER has me sick as a dog and after a night of not really being able to keep the contents of my stomach down, I had to call in to work. At least I only have 4 more days of taking it.
