Why Happy Trails??

I believe that when humans meet, then say hello, a door of possibilities is opened, and connections are made. When humans say Goodbye, a door gets closed.
First of all humans are more than a vehicle of flesh, but are also many other 'bodies' of being combined within a mobile vehicle of flesh. One or more of those 'bodies' contain all the information that connects humans from their past, to the universe, and to the present. At any given moment all of the 'bodies' within humans are connected to the earth, to the universe, to their higher power (soul or spirit) and constantly together make connections to other humans. It is a subtle energy. Most humans appear to loose their ability to sense most of these connections as they age. When they are new into the world humans are incredibly sensitive to all forms of vibrations.
A vibration are the energy pulses that are emitted from the universe that animate objects and things into life forms. Every form of life or elemental object gives off a certain frequency. Depending upon the frequency determines that form of life. A simple example of this are trees. They have a lower frequency but it is visible during every season, especially in spring as a living being, trees will increase their vibration when the weather warms, and will slow their vibration as the weather cools. Grass has a more rapid frequency given in the rate as it grows, but like trees, grass will lower its life vibration in winter. People do this but it is not as noticeable because humans can't keep still.
Humans can also give or receive, and transmit the vibrations from other life forms, themselves, and from the occupied environment they are place. The more complex the life form, the more complex the vibration, ability, and the higher the frequency that is emitted. Sexual contact, and most flirtations are prime examples of this energy transfer. Also when a human comes into contact with other humans, particularly if that contact is particularly intimate, each human will keep residual traces of that energy transfer for days afterwards.

What determines the amount of energy that is transferred is dependent upon the level of each encounter between humans. Trust, social setting, and any numbers of ingredients have some determined influence on the energy or synergy transfer. It occurs the very moment when humans greet each other, and because it is so common and ritually performed over the life of humans it becomes less of an event.
Now with that said, all this goes on in small moments, and in chance encounters, so why close the door. If there is a situation that requires closer then by all means, say Goodbye. In most connections made, why not keep the doors open. Some cultures to not have words like goodbye.
I also believe in the possibility that humans living now are reincarnations from many lives. Based on the current evolutionary progression of the human species, nature demands that humans must undergo several lives in order to evolve into the species they are capable of becoming. An intelligent species beyond its current limitations of the 'human' body form. There have been past human civilizations much more evolve than the most current adaptation. Still, because of this belief, there will be humans or 'souls' that people meet in this life that have a history or a 'Karma' from previous lives, and new encounters, (friends, loved ones) that we can carry with us into the next life. Yet, in order to do that a 'door' must remain open for that connection to be maintained. Most intelligent cultures recognized this meaning, and therefore, they do not say Goodbye. This is why, every blog on this site ends with Happy Trails.
Happy Trails was a song first made popular by Roy Rogers. In the late seventies and early eighties, the band Van Halen remade the song to go like this;

Bum-ba-dee-da-bum-ba-dee-da
Happy trails to you,
Until we meet again,
Happy trails to you,
Keep smiling on til then

Who ( oooh ) cares about the clouds when we're together
Just ( aaah ) sing a song an' think bout sunny weather
...two...three
Happy trails to you,
Til we meet again

When growing up we (people who care for each other) shorten our expression when parting to just say 'Bumbas', which was based on this song.
"...and now you know the rest of the story,..."

Bumba Dee Da,...Happy Trails!
