To reach, attain, achieve, arrive at a goal or place.
The projection of distance—the attempt to come to something that was never separate.
Erreichen = er- (bring forth) + reichen (to extend, to hand over, to be enough).
In ordinary usage, it implies success, arrival, or contact.
But structurally, reaching implies remoteness.
It creates the idea of something to approach—something not here.
But in clarity, there is no gap.
There is no elsewhere.
True reaching happens
when the reaching stops.
Then what was always here
can finally be seen.
