Hey, Peace:

In the context of this thread, and in common over-useage, the term "soulmate refers to a member of the opposite sex. There is indeed an equally difficult to describe connection that is made from one "soul" to another that is not male/female defined. I think of a couple of instances in recent years where I have experienced an immediate connection with another man that we both recognized. Too bad everyone has to always think in sexual terms. When I met Joe, the bass singer in my group, and eventual Best Man at our wedding, we both realized almost immediately that there was a special connection between us that defies description. The closest that I can come to it is imagining what happened when John the Baptist, still in his Mother's womb, was described as moving because he sensed the presence of Jesus in Mary's womb. Setting aside for a moment whether that is believable, it describes the immediate closeness and connection that two people can feel for each other upon meeting for the first time.

Would I had words to adequately describe it.
