When longtime friends feel like they're growing apart philosophically

My oldest friend and I have been growing in different directions spiritually and philosophically for years, and we've started feeling like we have to translate ourselves to each other in ways that feel lonely. I'm not sure if we're outgrowing each other or just need to learn how to be friends across difference.

What we've seen

The evolution of belief and worldview can create distance even in loving relationships unless both people learn to bridge difference rather than minimize it.
