Welcome

My name is Roland Kriewaldt

I am an author, musician, graphic designer and protector of animals who has combined my various passions to create something for others to enjoy.

As a child, even eighteen year olds looked like mature adults to me. But in passing through this stage of life myself, I soon realized that I and those around me were far less mature than I could ever imagine. This introduced me to one of life's little ironies in that things often appear grander when they're still ahead of us — be it love and sex, personal wealth or our faith in family, friends and public institutions.

Yes, I have had my share of disappointments, yet somehow I have still been able to maintain a level of excitement and hope for the future in all that I do. One such hope is to give our collective spirits a boost by sharing that enthusiasm with all of you.

This enduring optimism for life has also spawned projects like my book, Clearing a Path to Joy, wherein I share what I have learned about staying happy, hopeful and sane in a world seemingly run by sociopaths seeking revenge against the rest of us. It has also kept me working on my music, a lifelong passion, and spawned an idea to upgrade our democracies via Citizen Based Social Planning. 

And naturally, like many of you, I have also had my heart broken, my dreams shattered and my trust in others betrayed to the point where I am a bit more cynical in my attitude than when I first arrived. For that reason, you will also find here a collection of articles to challenge those lies and myths that are the foundation for so many illusory "truths" about our world. While not the most cheerful of insights, I hope they can help you in some way, even if just to realize that you are not alone in all of this...

But regardless of whether the message is looking up or down, I remain hopeful about our future prospects in that we will eventually work all of this out in everyone's favor. In the meantime, I will do what I can to elevate the human condition and contribute toward creating a better world for all of us, including the many animals that need our protection more than ever before.

Rolandk.ca showcases my relentless adventures in self-expression without ads or "funnels" to lure you into spending money. On the other hand, I hope I can convince you to buy one of my books, support my efforts on Patreon or make a donation so that I might continue on this mission to inspire in all of us a more joyful connection with one another and our natural world.

Enjoy your stay and contact me if you have any questions or comments about my work. I welcome your feedback.

All the best,
Roland Kriewaldt, Toronto, Canada.
