Embryos Unseen

All life is precious; This, the sculptor and carver know. They see the veins in the stone and the breath in the wood; they free the elemental life, from its bondage. Chisel and rasp, deliver the life, that no one else sees; birthing is never an easy process. Not all wombs are, amneo-laden; stone and wood afterbirth, are more easily cleared away; newborn creations emerge to be admired and prized by, all who encounter them.

So clever this part: "Not all wombs are, amneo-laden; stone and wood afterbirth, are more easily cleared away". Well done indeed.

Thanks, I have carved so, it does feel as though one is freeing the life within the stone or wood.
