Rock Splash

Every few seconds, a wave crashes against this rock. Some waves are small, some are larger, but this rock endures a perpetual pounding from the sea. Some day far in the future, inevitably, this rock will be worn down and will disappear, adding all its stony fragments to the sands of the sea.

This rock is an obstacle for waves, and that's where the beauty comes from. There would be no splash, crash, or spray if the rock obstacle were absent. I don't like obstacles in my life. But they do keep things interesting, and perhaps they, too, can provide occasions for beauty until that future Day when all obstacles disappear.
