The reaching as weight-bearing itself. Two hands, not cupped in shelter but open and reaching, and the heaviness they carry is the same gesture as the reaching. The light is not separate from the hands or the burden. It lives in the shape they make together. The hands are not fragile; they are strong with what they hold and what they move toward at once. No warmth wrapping it, just the plain fact of arms extended under load, and that extension itself is the reaching. The weight and the movement are one action.
