That's new! I've never heard these theories before, thanks for sharing! (Btw, does agoraphobia mean "fear of crowds"?)

Fear of crowds or open spaces, I'm pretty sure. As a side note, I believe the word comes from the Agora (marketplace) in ancient Greece.

I recently got a collection of Emily Dickinson's poetry and I am slowly reading through them -- savoring each poem. Each word is chosen with care. Each poem crafted like fine jewelry.

Need I say I'm enjoying myself??
