What does ecology mean in my Jesuit vocation? I remember as a child ardently sweeping our compound, collecting leaves, and disposing them to a creek nearby. I was attracted to gardening and learned to till the soil and grow seasonal vegetables in our backyard. Even at a young age, I found it a breathtaking experience to gaze at the growth and bloom of the plants. In Myanmar, water is abundant and the soil conducive to the growth of vegetation.
