Hello!
In this paragraph, the author/narrator is referencing everyday things that we may see, like flowers, weeds, rocks, and more, to how they feel! For example, the author tells us that a flower is basically "trapped" in a pot, although it is beautiful and gets much attention and care, then he compares the trapped flower, to the weed, which although is in a "dangerous condition", it is free.
So, what I understand from this paragraph is that sometimes we can feel trapped, like a flower, or free, like a weed.
Have a wonderful day! Hope this helps! :)
