Some Sense of Belonging

Working off campus has broken a routine
more opportunities to attend online sessions
in relation to any number of issues and realities,
greater flexibility and understanding.

Working off campus has broken a routine
I have found it easier to manage my condition
it is easier to manage pain and fatigue,
and I am in a better state of mind becauĀ­se of it.

Working off campus has broken a routine
it has actually improved
my ability to communicate with others,
as they are easier to get in touch with.

Working off campus has broken a routine
it made meetings more democratic as it was
now more difficult for dominant personalities,
to talk over other participants.

Working off campus has broken a routine
It has led to improvements in online educational
experience and enabled communication,
with students outside.

Working off campus has broken a routine
I have experienced genuine collegiality
and community during lock-down,
I feel we all came together.

Working off campus has broken a routine
I have seen the efforts of a lot of amazing people
trying their hardest to perform a difficult job,
under far from ideal conditions.

Working off campus has broken a routine
my plea is to pause on that
and allow us to re-connect in person,
to the sense of belonging we had.
