“What greater
thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they
are joined..
to strengthen each other.. to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable
memories.” -- George Eliot
A
love divine
In the past, Star
Walker of the Month articles have been about one individual at a time. This
month however, we are focusing the Star Walker of the Month spotlight on two
individuals who make an incredibly inspiring couple, but they are actually one.
Although these two people attained tremendous professional success in their own
right, as a team, as a ‘power couple’ they stand as an international symbol of
success. In a world where social injustice, prejudice and the most basic of
human rights continues to be violated around the globe, in their own way these
two somehow represent hope in a world where all our differences can be
celebrated and embraced equally. Much has been written about their incredible
success of their professional lives, but here we choose to focus on the happy
success of their marriage.
As husband and wife
they have proven themselves exceptional examples in being able to step past
their social, cultural and racial differences. The deeper beauty of their
marital alliance is the very thing that maybe brings them closer together. The
fact that they refuse to be labeled or placed into any social category or
stereotypes based on race is refreshing.
Due to their
celebrity status their marriage projects an example of racial harmony. As we
settle into 2008 with all the overwhelming problems of the world around us,
more and more we find or re-discover the importance of embracing our
differences to serve the bigger benefits of getting along, the greater good.
Their union seems to
simple make people smile. And maybe that’s because deep down people know the
true ‘right of a thing’. In other words, the woman who knows she loves the man
of color but denies herself for fear of what family and friends might say. Yet
somewhere deep down in her heart she despises her own lack of courage for
standing for what she instinctually knows is right, true love. For time and
time again history has shown that true love knows no color, no boundaries, no
limits, no prejudices, no misgivings, no blame, no settling for anything but
what is best for the heart, that true destined loved one. Yet how many times
have we given in to what is less, out of pressure from society?
Seal and Heidi Klum
(pronounced Kloom) seem to walk in the midst of a divine kind of love. You see
them and you smile because they had the courage to listen to their hearts and
not be pressured by any prejudices of society.
In addition to that, they both are just very nice people. Their warmth
kind of arrives at least several minutes before they do, and that is no joke.
Waiting
For You
When you look back at
all of the obstacles and successes of both Seal and Heidi you can not help but
acknowledge that all that they’ve gone through has made it possible for them to
embrace the ‘true love’ they share today. It is an awesome thought provoking
thing to see someone with Heidi’s beauty, to see her look beyond the physical
scares of the man and see the beauty of his spirit (Seal
went through a childhood battle with discoid lupus erythematosis, that left him
permanently facially disfigured). We could all learn such a valuable
lesson about what true beauty is, how to see past the physical, which always
will fade with time and the power of knowing that.
I can not help but
think and know that in a moment of calm silence Heidi and Seal have on more
than one occasion softly told the other how long they have been waiting for the
other. But George Eliot said it better when he wrote: “What greater thing is there for two human souls
than to feel that they are joined.. to
strengthen each other… to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable
memories.”
It is inspiring to
see them together because to see them is to be drawn into the world of purity
of love, unconditional support, and the total acceptance they have for each
another.
Human beings
Much has been said and written about the indomitable spirit of ‘Human Beings’. But it is interesting to see it played out on smaller or more subtle scale. Seal shows an incredible glimpse of his ingenuity for the fight for survival. In this case, he was fighting for the survival of his love for the woman he felt was his soul mate, Heidi Klum.
In Style Heidi says: "He sang, got on one knee and proposed. And then there was
the igloo – which had to be christened of course!"
In an online interview this
extraordinary romantic gesture is described as follows: “Seal wows Klum with an elaborate proposal, chartering a
helicopter to fly them to a natural snow cave 14,000 feet off the ground in a
Whistler, B.C., glacier, where a specially built igloo waits at the end of a
trail of rose petals. Inside, a dazzled Klum finds a bearskin rug, champagne
and Seal's guitar. "He'd spent two days building this fairy-tale
wonderland that was the most amazing, crazy thing I've ever seen," Klum
tells In Style.
It is truly amazing
what love can inspire human beings to do.
The lengths people will go to find, nurture or express their love is
incredible. Multiple award winning singer and songwriter Seal, and
international model/actress Heidi Klum were married on May 10th,
2005.
Fly
Like An Eagle
Seal and Heidi have
found what many truly successful couples in marriage have discovered, it is
that the greatest things, events and successes in life are best experienced
when they are shared with that special significant other. In a recent interview
Seal is quoted as saying: “Everyday is a new page
in our history books that we write for ourselves as a family. It is up to us to
fill the pages with how we want the story to go.”
Their relationship is
in itself perhaps a ‘prayer for the dying’. In other words, those of us who are
blinded by racism, directly or subtlety, are the true walking dead. If we can’t look beyond a person’s race or
appearance, then there is really a part
of our heart, our very being that is dying, or has already died. Have you ever
noticed how the face of a devote racist is always a bit twisted and deformed?
This is how poisonous their hatred is as it consumes them little by little, day
by day. Next time you see one spewing their hate filled doctrine, just look
closely and you will see an undeniable ugliness living within them, their demon
peering out from their shattered soul periodically.
I believe their love
supports one another in ways others outside of their relationship could never
see. The love they share is so palpable that people simply smile when they are
together. There is something about the two of them that speaks to the heart
with an honesty rarely experienced these days in regards to matters of the
heart, especially within the world of entertainment. Many marry one year, only
to divorce the next. But I believe the relationship between Seal and Heidi is
here to last.
