Between a rock and a hard place

Life is full of struggles, difficulties and hardships.  However, even it the midst of such challenges, growth finds a way and beauty abounds.  In fact, it is because of the hardships that things grow stronger and even thrive.  Much like this little green sea shore plant (and no, I do not know the name of this little plant) growing in the crevice of lava rocks on a New Zealand beach across the street from my daughter's home.  A bit of beauty manifesting its strength and conquering spirit between a real rock and a hard place.
