A prayerful offering of images and words from Fr. Michael Livingston — a pilgrim by the sea.

Welcome to Pilgrim by the Sea, a quiet space for Welcome to Pilgrim by the Sea, a quiet space for reflection, beauty, and the gentle pursuit of God. Here you’ll find photography, spiritual writings, and personal reflections from Fr. Michael Livingston — a priest, photographer, and podcaster who saunters the shore both literally and spiritually.

Fr. Michael is the pastor of a parish in Little River, South Carolina, where he ministers with a spirit of prayer and presence. He is also the host of Common Prayer Daily, a simple, spoken podcast rooted in the rhythms of the Church’s historic prayer practices. Through word and silence, light and shadow, he seeks to help others encounter Christ in the ordinary and the still.

This blog is an extension of that same journey — an attempt to slow down, to pay attention, and to witness the sacred in everyday life. Whether through the lens of a camera or the words of prayer, Pilgrim by the Sea invites you to walk a little more gently, breathe a little more deeply, and listen for the voice of God in the liminal space of nature.
