In Stay Present and Love Him Ann Gila shows how unpredictable life and love can be and how you might just get what you wish for. You can call it a miracle, destiny, or maybe even divine intervention. And then once you get what you wish for, you learn profound lessons from living with it. She writes authentically about her life with John Firman, a relationship that comes only after their involvement in a cult, years of separation, and numerous intervening relationships. It is a love story filled with hope and despair, a reaching out for love that seems impossible, but holding true despite all obstacles, guided by inner faith to a remarkable marriage in which both Gila and Firman come to know true intimacy. A marriage based upon total trust and vulnerability, commitment to truth, and an intellectual delight in co-creating significant innovations in psychosynthesis theory. A consummately romantic relationship, including shared adventures in motorcycle riding, the colorful world of playing blues guitar, and a miraculous journey to romantic Italy in search of family roots. It is also a marriage in which Gila and Firman support each other through dark periods of great loss, guided in good times as well as hard times by a deeply shared faith.
