Definition
A material’s ability to absorb, store, and release heat, stabilizing indoor temperatures.
Interpretation
The wisdom of holding warmth. Thermal mass doesn’t resist change — it embraces it slowly. It teaches us that comfort can come from absorption, that heat held gently becomes safety over time.
Living Invitation
Notice where warmth lingers in your space. What structures or relationships in your life act as thermal mass — absorbing stress, holding energy, releasing steadiness?
