I’ve heard this described as “creative tension” but “the flame” is much more evocative.
I think people who live this way actually have two responsibilities: (1) to take what the flame within us inspires us to put into the world, and realize it faithfully, and (2) to keep the flame alive, so that even if our realizations are poorly made or the world doesn’t treasure it as we do, the flame can live to fight another day.
