"Always With Me" - Chihiro's Rhapsody, GHIBLILANE, dear memories~
“As I bid farewell my heart stops, in tenderness I feel
My silent empty body begins to listen to what is real
The wonder of living, the wonder of dying
The wind, town, and flowers, we all dance one unity
Somewhere a voice calls in the depths of my heart
keep dreaming your dreams, don’t ever let them part”
It’s a blessed feeling, for the intentions to carry through.
For the detailed care, thought, attention, planning, hard work, passion, imagination, hopes invested into something to translate into something almost graspable. For the honest sentiments to transmit, to reach someone.
That warmth that is contagious.
The voices we heard, the connections we made, the heartfelt, wholesome space we created together. It was everything we dreamed of. Or at least, the beginning of ever more magical, daring dreams. Intimate, sincere, endearing, and profoundly touching.
Putting on a passion project like this from scratch is such a beautiful journey, with all its challenges and surprises and gifts. And that effort, that struggle, that exploration is felt. The depth is found by our desire to create something meaningful and special, for ourselves and for art and for the world.
“I would like to sincerely thank you all for coming, for your attention, for sharing your memories and dreams. We hope you have found an opportunity to open up to the magic in your hearts, to connect with us, with Ghibli, with strangers, with our real and fantastical world.
Let’s keep making beautiful time capsules.
Every moment is a given moment, it’s a gift. <3 ”
