A rooster crows only when it sees the light. Put him in the dark and he'll never crow. I have seen the light and I'm crowing.

One day the President and Mrs. Coolidge were visiting a government farm. Soon after their arrival, they were taken off on separate tours. When Mrs. Coolidge passed the chicken pens she paused to ask the man in charge if the rooster copulates more than once each day. "Dozens of times was the reply." "Please tell that to the President," Mrs. Coolidge requested. When the President passed the pens and was told about the roosters, he asked "Same hen every time?" "Oh no, Mr. President, a different one each time." The President nodded slowly, then said, "Tell that to Mrs. Coolidge."

We're each single threads woven together in a tapestry God has created. Only he sees the full picture, but not even a sparrow falls without his knowing.

Yesterday's weaving is as irrevocable as yesterday. I may not draw out the threads, but I may change my shuttle.

The Origins of the Hmong
The Hmong claim to originate from the Yellow River region of China, in around 3000 BC; though some experts state it was later than this. It wasn’t until the 1800s that they began to migrate; first spreading to Indochina, then to Northern Laos, Burma, Thailand, and Vietnam, to avoid oppression.
After the Vietnamese war, many more Hmong people migrated to Thailand as refugees. However, due to the fact that several had joined the communist party during the war, they were persecuted. To this day, some are still denied citizenship rights, or proper titles to the land they cultivate.
In the 21st century, there are Hmong people living across the world; including Australia, France, and the US. However, 95% still live in Asia.
Culture
The Hmong have a rich, fascinating culture. Traditionally, a shaman leads the tribe and plays a vital role in the complex funeral and marriage rites. During times of illness, he will enter a trance to visit the underworld and relocate the soul of the ill person in question; and at times, he even undertakes a political role within the village.
The New Year is particularly important to the Hmong and is celebrated on the 30th day of the 12th lunar month. During this time, the family and ancestral spirits are honored; and unmarried boys and girls are encouraged to play games together, in the hope of sparking a marital match.
The Importance of Textiles
Textiles play an integral role in Hmong culture. Indeed, they’re considered so importantly that girls as young as five are taught to embroider, to prepare them for the task of creating marriage and funerary fabrics in later life. They learn how to perform the more complex processes of indigo dying, garment construction, and applique at a later stage.
Hmong Fabrics – Story Cloths
Hmong fabrics are renowned across the world; thanks to their rich colors and intricate designs. Their story cloths are particularly celebrated. Prior to the 20th century, the Hmong had no form of written language, and instead, communicated ideas and narratives onto beautifully intricate pieces of cloth.
This practice wasn’t limited to females – even the male members of the village would create story cloths, to convey the story of their people to the outside world, and in some cases, to reveal the extent of their persecution.
