When friendship and spiritual practice complicate emerging romantic feelings

My closest friend and I both practice bhakti but we've realized we're each using our spiritual language to avoid talking about the romantic feelings that have been growing between us. We keep having these intense conversations about divine love while dancing around what's happening in our human hearts, and neither of us knows how to bridge that gap without losing what we have.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You're discovering that the vocabulary of divine love can become a beautiful hiding place from the vulnerability of naming earthly desire.
