This is my current desktop.

The bright blue dot kinda in the middle is earth. In the words of Carl Sagan:

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

A mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam... talk about your big picture. I've read accounts from astronauts who've had the privelege of viewing the earth from space speak of just how humbling it is when you see how tiny and insignificant our fragile little spaceship really is in the backdrop of space.
