The Sweet Smell Of Ripening Nangka Oh Thou! The Fruit Of The Present The Link To The Past

The Sweet Smell Of Ripening Nangka Oh Thou! The Fruit Of The Present The Link To The Past

Looking out the window, inhaling the sweet smell of ripening nangka (jackfruit) hanging from the tree, I'm transported back to the time of my life when, as a child, time did not matter

The past, the future, existed not

Only the now, the immediacy of the present

That, and what transpired in the present

A time when yesterday was not

And tomorrow was - but what happened in the moment next

Just the present existed

The sweet smell of ripening nangka

Oh thou!

The fruit of the present

The link to the past!

It still does, but the last time I was there it wasn't a good experience for me. The famous coffee had somewhat lost its oomph and even the buns...The shop has a long and noted history being first opened for business in 1938 and the place is now run by the 3rd generation LIm family. I hope the next time I return, the coffee would regain its oomph. Click to read more...
