Sadhu sadhu sadhu
Brooke Brodack presents a contemplative spoken word piece set to original music composed using the Maive application. Written by Brooke herself, the piece draws on Buddhist meditation practice and the teachings of the Buddha, weaving together imagery of the ocean, the shore, and the infinite nature of time to explore themes of equanimity and inner peace.
The poem speaks of a song surfacing from the depths of the soul, a clarity of thought that needs no explanation. Brooke meditates on how enlightenment is too grand a word for the simple act of being one with all things, comparing it to the shore meeting the ocean without question or hesitation. The piece closes with the traditional Pali blessing "Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu," followed by contemplative musical passages.
This video reflects Brooke's deep engagement with Buddhist philosophy and Vipassana meditation, offering viewers a moment of stillness and reflection. She closes with the universal wish: may all beings be happy, may all beings be peaceful, may all beings be liberated.
