verb: sonder, sondered, sondering

adjective: sonder

thenewgreen: Whatcha doin'?

lil: Just sondering.

tng: How come? What set it off? Was there a particular sonder experience?

lil: I was listening to They Might Be Giants song, Ana Eng, -- it's full of sonderlines, but when I came to the chorus...

   Ana Ng and I are getting old
   And we still haven't walked in the glow
   Of each other's majestic presence
   Listen Ana hear my words
   They're the ones you would think I would say
   If there was a me for you
it spun me out into thinking of all the people in the world who might be perfect for me, that I have never met.
