My plan for the month ahead is to focus on culling through the many boxes I inherited of ancestral letters, journals, and photographs and to organize them: archiving, or giving things away, or throwing them out. A lovely pink flamingo showed up as my guide for this activity, enchanting and delicately balanced on one leg. Flamingos are related to our intuitive clairtangience (clairvoyance uses insight to “see” metaphysically, clairtangience uses our sense of touch). Clairtangience, or psychometry, is often used in mediumship, so I’m grateful to have flamingo with me during the process of sifting through so much heady ancestral information and any ancestral healing I can help with. Flamingo is also a charming and sociable creature and not usually found alone. We all, in one way or another, feel alone just now. And yet, in the bigger scheme of things, we are closer together as a species than we ever have been before. The globally-shared experience of all of us on this planet, no matter how it is that we’re experiencing it personally, feels unprecedented. One of the things we’re each of us faced with is to ask ourselves: What really matters to us most of all? Flamingo says: Follow your heart. Be true to it. Let go of the rest, for now. Go back to the basics. It’s a good time to filter out from our lives what we no longer need, and to cherish the rest.
