In a world of visible and invisible things, do not expect to see in order to believe. Life does not ask how you want things; it brings them as it decides, surprising you pleasantly or painfully. Some believe that what happens to them is God's will, others think it is their fate, and some consider it to be the result of their choices, that they provoked them by their actions and decisions.
For the large family of Zafeiris and Harikleia in Eresos of Lesvos, the wheel spins many times before it stops for each one individually where God, life, fate, their actions, and their decisions lead them. After the destruction of Smyrna, Damianos, Harikleia's uncle, takes refuge in Eresos. However, this man carries inexplicable mysteries...
An old monk had prophesied to his father: "A heavy destiny awaits your son, but he will have a blessing. And… whatever name he takes, the people will call him by another name." And indeed, as he grew up, everyone called him Kirykas. What was this man after all? Saint, wise, or naive? Nothing is as it seems. Every mind measures things differently, every soul feels things in its own way.
People are skeptical of anything they cannot see with their own eyes, and they are frightened by the unknown. And logic is not always the key to explain everything. We are still imperfect. All of us are made from a piece of clay upon which the Divine Breath fell and gave it life. He decided that we were to be in His image and likeness, so as to elevate us. However, from clay to God the road is long and difficult. Very few get close, if any...
