remembering something new (have i used this title?)

a friend recently asked what this means to me. this was my reply, today.

Q: "Remember something new" - where does this come from and what does this mean to you? I like the idea of it."           

it came as a way to describe the feeling that i was recalling something, specific or broad, and that the memory felt specifically new/unique or different from the original. 

it is a refreshing feeling of things that i once knew to be true, or memories i hold onto, that i now understand in refined or deconstructed ways. those new ways can often be a mix of what i knew and what  learned. sometimes they are a mix of what i knew and what i think i knew. on other occasions they are a combination all to themselves. illusive.
