Storytelling: Tomorrow is the last day to notify the termination of the contract. What lay ahead are the blocks of cloudy view. She is deciding whether to stay in the same old workplace or to start something new for herself (maybe a small business of her own). The monthly payroll that gives her security will not be able to support her anymore if she walks to another direction. Her thoughts tell her to see for the bright side of the secure prosper income but her heart contains the emptiness throughout her life. What will she decide to rely on? Will she include her intuition into an account? – will you?

♠ The woman’s body and face are taken over but the deer head and horn are situated instead of the human face. The name “still listening to you”, I want to depict that the body is listening to the animal spirit. The head of the deer represents intuitive guidance. And she is listening to what the instinct tells her. The finger pointed is to remind her that every time she is drawn to making some important decision it will remind her to include the inner feeling as well.
