rediscover
Encounter once more
To rediscover something is to find or appreciate it again after a period of neglect or forgetting.
You might rediscover an old hobby, a forgotten author, or a neighborhood you once knew: I rediscovered my love of painting after twenty years.
The word often carries a sense of pleasant surprise—the thing was there all along, waiting.
