When spiritual friendships grow in different directions

My best friend and I have been meeting for spiritual conversation every week for three years and lately she's moved toward something more structured and I'm moving away from any kind of organized practice and we're both pretending it's not changing everything between us. Neither of us wants to lose what we've built but we don't know how to talk about growing in different directions.
