The greatest people always rely on literature to pacify their perplexed minds and put things into perspective. And Gisele Bündchen loves to read to gain insights into various aspects of life. From Buddhist teachings to Dom Miguel Ruiz’s ‘The Four Agreements,’ ‘The Mastery of Love,’ and ‘The Voice of Knowledge,’ she read it all. And being an avid reader was fruitful for her.

Khalil Gibran, the Lebanese-American poet, lives on to inspire thousands. His best work, ‘The Prophet’, is a poetic work comprising 26 prose poetry tales. Hailed as a book that has insightful treats for its readers, it certainly did wonders for the supermodel. Especially, the poem ‘On Marriage,’ which talks about how and what a marriage should consist of.

In her book, ‘Lessons: My Path to Meaningful Life,’ Bündchen read the philosophical poem. She could relate to and understand the poem well. About the poem, she wrote, “The poem reminded me that two people in love can attain both interdependence and balance. With that balance, you each become a pillar strong enough to sustain love while living side by side.”

“One partner doesn’t need to lean on, or crash into, or merge with the other. A strong pillar stands straight on its own.” To be self-independent is the crucial message of the poem. The verses stay true and relevant to modern times. Hence, by passing the test of time, the poem proves its glory.

The fight erupted because the mother of three wants her seven-time Super Bowl-winning husband to retire from the sport and spend time with the family. But Tampa Tom thinks there’s more left in the tank. Looks like Mr & Mrs. Brady need to read ‘The Prophet’ again.
