When friends discover shared spiritual truth across different traditions

My closest friend and I have been exploring different spiritual traditions for years — she's drawn to Sufi poetry and Buddhist meditation while I find truth in Christian mysticism and Hindu philosophy. We keep having these amazing conversations where we see the same light coming through different windows, but when we try to share this with others or even practice together consistently, something gets lost in translation and we end up feeling like we're speaking different languages.
