Jag hörde en gång följande berättelse av en sufisheikh:
 
"Jag var så desperat efter Jesu återkomst
och lidandets slut.
Åter och åter höll jag på med nedräkningar
till någon profets domedagsdatum eller
till egna beräkningar av domedagens ankomst.
 
Sedan en vacker dag, talade en maskros till mig
om att Guds närvaro är Jesu återkomst,
och att den finns i alla ting, alltid, överallt. 
Jag förstummades, och slutade vänta på domedagen.
Hur man än ser det, så på ett sätt
har Jesu återkomst hänt sedan eviga tider,
och händer just nu. 
O, att du blott öppnade din blomkalk och tog emot Solen.
O att du trodde, så din långa väntan kunde ta slut."
