Handwritten note by L.D., Skokie Public Library Solar Eclipse Party Time Capsule, August 21, 2017
Description
Handwritten note on 4 x 6 index card in pencil by L.D. for the Skokie Public Library Solar Eclipse Party Time Capsule. Just after noon on Monday, August 21, 2017, the Skokie, Illinois community joined others across the United States in viewing the astronomical event of the year: the solar eclipse. The library provided 300 free, safe viewing glasses for participants—a number dwarfed by the 1,123 people who ultimately participated. Participants were invited to write notes for watchers of the next solar eclipse to take place in the continental United States on Monday, April 8, 2024.
Transcript of card (front and back): “El verdadero AMOR es: Misericordioso, amable, humilde y dondadoso sin importar, la raza, religión a clero. El verdadero Amor no se alegra del sufrimiento o’el mal ajeno. El verdadero Amor es; Ser Feliz porque mi prójimo el Feliz. El mundo es mejor cuando hoy un verdadero Amor. – L.D.” Translation (English): "True LOVE is: Merciful, kind, humble and delighted regardless of race, religion or creed. True Love does not rejoice in suffering or the evil of others. True Love is: Be Happy because my neighbor is Happy. The world is better when today is a true Love. - L.D."
