Spline dynamics with Keyframe animation

Hello
I’m trying to create the following effect…I have a that is a line, and it is inside another spline shape that is closed.  The line spline is dynamic, meaning that it feels “alive” as it moves, it has tension and spring.

The goal is to make the the two extreme point of the line spline follow the contour of the containing spline, and have the spline dynamics kick in as this movement is happening.

My problem is that once I fix the two points holding the spline to the edges, I can’t animate them anymore…So I’m wondering what the best approach is…

Here is a file that shows the setup.

Thanks!
