21) My urn, earn me a day of grace!

Posted on January 17, 2013 Updated on January 19, 2013

When I was young, we used to have an urn placed in our lavatory filled up with water.  As bathroom and laundry is a combined usage area, it is common to have an urn in most households to hold water for daily usage.

As water is as precious as dews and water supplies are not that efficient in those days, keeping an urn with water is good for emergency.  As dragon symbolizes benevolence, prosperity, longevity and renewal of life, I guess having a dragon urn is more than what we can ask for.

While some believe putting some coins in the dragon water urn will bring prosperity and wishes come true.  Showering with the water can enhance your lucky spirits!  Well, to me it reminds me of the song “three coins in the fountain”.

I don’t have such a big urn in my apartment now as my lavatory is too small to make room for the urn but I have got a similar mini urn, size of a flower pot.  It does not serve me with water but just sweet and culturistic memories.

To me, keeping a piece of the sweet past ‘urn’ me a graceful day, what else do I ask for….?
