Abstract
This reflection uses poetry to illustrate how the COVID-19 pandemic uniquely illuminates the holistic nature of academic development. The virus stripped away the pretence that the success of higher education rests on select parts of the whole. We are all precarious and expendable; we are all integral and important. Each one of us, each part of us, every role that we play, together form the threads of this tapestry.
