OMG--nailed it. Love is so intense and so spiritual. It endures through many lifetimes as souls struggle to reunite. It is the ache of loneliness and the joy of connection. Thank you for including the example of Alan Turing in your essay; not holding it against Turing that his love was for another man. When I met my soul mate, there was instant recognition. The first time I met my husband-to-be, that night I dreamed I married him. Some nearly 40 years later, we are still happily married and counting. When we are in each other's arms, just lying quietly together, I can feel our energies intermingling--one soul in two bodies.
